Reckless Driving

Reckless driving is a term used to describe operating a motor vehicle in a manner that shows a willful disregard for the safety of persons or property. It involves behaviors such as excessive speeding, aggressive lane changes, tailgating, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and other actions that could lead to accidents. Reckless driving is typically characterized by the driver knowing that their behavior poses a substantial risk of harm but choosing to proceed anyway. This behavior can lead to legal penalties, including fines, points on a driver’s license, and even imprisonment, depending on the severity of the offense and the consequences of the actions taken while driving recklessly.
