I need some clarification. Were you convicted of reckless driving (which may or may not be reckless endangerment in your state) or just charged and it was later reduced? You need to get a copy of the certificate of disposition and see exactly what you were charged with and the end result. Also, how the wordning is on the application matter. It is always best to err on the side of disclosure but I think it your state when it happened and the end result matters. See link herein. Good luck.
