The mental state required for reckless driving — acting with willful and wanton disregard for the traffic, signals, and road conditions.
“Another major one is reckless, which is higher than careless driving. And so reckless driving is meaning that you were acting with a willful and wantton disregard for the traffic, for signals, for the road conditions, things like that. And so it's a higher level of culpability and it's a higher charge.”
Right Law Group's guide explains: "Your arrest is often the beginning of a challenging struggle to defend your legal rights and retain your freedom. Ultimately, your court experience will take you through a legal process that can lead to fines, jail time, and other adverse consequences."
