A reckless driver endangers the lives of everyone on the road. With a complete lack of consideration for the safety of others, reckless drivers willfully operate their vehicles in a dangerous fashion. High speeds and erratic driving behavior, coupled with the intentional disregard for the safety of others on the road, can lead to catastrophic, even fatal, injuries.
