Types of Reckless Driving

Reckless driving refers to a number of driving habits that makes the safe operation of a vehicle more difficult. Common examples of reckless driving are:

• Cell phone usage
• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Tailgating other drivers

Drivers who commit these actions are putting themselves at greater risk for an accident. In many cases, individuals who drive recklessly diminish their own reaction times or divert their attention away from the road.

When an individual who drives recklessly causes an accident, he or she will usually be found at fault for the accident, meaning the other driver may be entitled to financial compensation beyond insurance settlements if he or she suffers a serious injury.
