Chas- Not to hijack a thread, isn't reckless driving completely based on...well driving recklessly? One officer may think 90MPH in a 75MPG is reckless...and one may not.
I didn't think Texas Law/Code had an actual defined MPH that would trigger the charge.

Re: my first time
I dont' think you have to "ask" to move to safe location, you need to choose a safe location to pull over in the first place (LEO's correct me if I am wrong). Signal your attention by turning on your flashers, and find a spot which you feel is safe. I would rather explain to a judge that based on the number of LEO's killed and or hit over the years while executing simple traffic stops and/or helping motorist on Texas highways, I felt better pulling to a safe location. Always keep in mind that a LEO can write you a ticket for whatever he pleases, it is a Judge/Jury who assess guilt or non guilt.
