Tiger Woods accepts reckless driving plea and loses licence for five years
Tiger Woods resolved his Florida crash case with a reduced reckless driving plea, a fine and a five-year driving suspension.
Tiger Woods pleaded no contest in a Florida court on Wednesday to a reduced reckless driving charge tied to a March rollover crash, avoiding the original DUI allegation. A judge in Martin County found him guilty of willful and wanton reckless driving in the second degree.
Under the agreement with prosecutors, Woods was fined $1,000 and barred from driving for five years. The case had begun with a charge of driving under the influence with property damage, according to court records and reports from the hearing.
The 50-year-old golfer entered the plea as part of the deal reached with Florida authorities. The court proceeding took place in Martin County, where the crash case was heard after the March incident.
