Most drivers get comfortable behind the wheel over time and take certain risks which may or may not be safe for them. Reckless driving includes speeding, ignoring traffic rules, and willful disregarding the road safety.

Here are some examples of reckless driving:

• Approaching a traffic signal, stop sign, exit, or construction zone with high speeds and slowing with sudden breaks
• Speeding in school zones, construction zones, and on highways
• Not following lane change rules and indicator lights
• Excessive speeding, that is, ten over the speed limit
• Damaging property or other vehicles by dashing
• Failure to yield to emergency vehicles or other right-of-way
• Passing a parked school bus, passing two vehicles, or passing in a no-pass zone

Reckless driving may cause heavy fines and may result in imprisonment in case of death or injury. Each state has a different rule and fines for reckless driving. It also may result in suspension of driving licence and may show bad report in background checking.

Hence, reckless driving must be avoided in all circumstances and it is always suggested to drive safe and obey the traffic rules.
