I got the same charge too.
It is not a significant misdemeanor, If it was prior to (2012?), they recently changed it from a class 5 to a class 1 misdemeanor.
So if you got it prior to the change date (2012 i think), you are fine.
I remember in my case, my lawyer did not want to get it changed to a reckless driving as that charge was worse than the original charge.
