Common Causes of Reckless Driving
All licensed motorists have a legal obligation to exercise reasonable care and follow the traffic laws whenever they drive on the roadways. When a person drives in a reckless and negligent manner, i.e., speeding, resulting in a collision and injuries, not only can they be held liable for the crash but they can also be charged with a crime.
Reckless driving is a common cause of car accidents in the United States since it always involves dangerous driving maneuvers and high speeds. In fact, speeding alone is a significant contributing factor to approximately one-third of all collision deaths in the country.
The most common causes of reckless driving:
- Speeding or traveling too fast for conditions
- Tailgating or driving too closely to the vehicle in front
- Ignoring traffic signals and signs
- Unsafe lane changes
- Forgetting to signal when turning or changing lanes
- Failing to yield the right-of-way
- Sudden braking
- Distracted or negligent driving
- Drunk driving
Each one of these behaviors poses a serious risk to other people’s safety. Due to the dangers of reckless driving and speeding, it is considered a crime in California.
According to state traffic law, reckless driving makes it a crime to operate a motor vehicle in careless and wanton disregard for other people’s safety or property. It is a misdemeanor offense, punishable by a maximum 90-day sentence in county jail and fines worth thousands of dollars. However, in the event of the injury, the penalties increase.
