When a driver acts recklessly, the consequences can be immediate and severe, often leaving victims with serious injuries and lasting uncertainty.
What Is Reckless Driving?
Reckless driving goes beyond simple negligence; it involves a conscious disregard for the safety of others. Arizona law specifically defines this behavior. Arizona reckless driving laws under Title 28 § 693 of the Arizona Revised Statutes outline what constitutes reckless conduct behind the wheel and the legal consequences that may follow. Examples of reckless driving include:
- Driving at excessive speeds
- Weaving aggressively through traffic
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Engaging in road rage behavior
- Street racing
These actions significantly increase the likelihood of serious accidents.
