The definition of reckless driving is different for everyone, so it\u2019s difficult to give one solution to this problem. However, if you believe that you are witnessing reckless driving, it\u2019s important that you take some sort of action. This person could be a danger to the public or create a risk to you and others, so it\u2019s always better to be safe than sorry, and to report this to the police.<\/p>\n<h3>So, What is the \u201cTrue\u201d Definition of Reckless Driving?<\/h3>\n<p>Any law enforcement official would say that you should report reckless driving, but only if you feel it\u2019s \u201ctruly a dangerous situation.\u201d Reckless can be dangerous, as in driving in a way that presents a potential danger to human life. Reckless can also just simply mean careless, as in the reckless driver in question is departing from the care that a reasonable person would exercise in a similar circumstance. Reckless can additionally mean to act with \u201creckless disregard,\u201d which would mean to proceed to do something while consciously being aware of and ignoring possible consequences. If any of these definitions can apply to the situation you\u2019re witnessing, you should call 911.<\/p>\n<h3>What Are Some Examples of Dangerous Reckless Driving?<\/h3>\n<p>These are signs of dangerous driving:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weaving or swerving in and out of driving lanes<\/li>\n<li>Passing quickly on curves and double yellow lines<\/li>\n<li>Driving extremely slowly as to impede other traffic<\/li>\n<li>Tailgating<\/li>\n<li>Extreme speeding<\/li>\n<li>Road rage<\/li>\n<li>Disobeying and disregarding traffic signs and road rules<\/li>\n<li>Accelerating and braking suddenly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you were involved in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sdinjuryattorney.com\/personal-injury\/auto-accident-lawyer\/\">car accident<\/a> that was a result of reckless and dangerous driving of another, you deserve to be compensated for your injuries and damages. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sdinjuryattorney.com\/contact\/\">Contact<\/a> Steve Gnau today to get experienced representation for your case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have probably been caught in a situation where you were driving on the freeway or a local road, and someone was driving \u201crecklessly\u201d next to you, in front of you, or behind you.
