Did you read the article? He also said: "b) If we can articulate reckless driving anywhere in the State of Florida, public or private property, you are fair game."
Speeding can be
an element of reckless driving. The charge can be "reckless driving by driving at a speed unsafe for conditions."
Conditions can include narrow paths, congested traffic, inclement weather, etc..
Be aware that you can be cited for reckless driving on an Interstate highway posted for 70 mph when you are driving 70 mph if 70 is too fast for conditions, in conditions listed above. Note you won't be charged with speeding, but reckless driving.
