A person who violates this section shall be guilty of reckless driving and shall be punished upon a first conviction by a fine of not more than $1,000.00 or by imprisonment for not more than one year, or both; and upon a second conviction by a fine of not more than $3,000.00 or by imprisonment for not more than three years, or both.”
