Reckless Driving Accident Statistics

Reckless driving is a major contributor to the millions of annual accidents, cases of road rage, and fatal highway collisions in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), being reckless is intentionally putting the lives of other drivers or pedestrians in danger.

According to a 2009 AAA study, between the years of 2003 and 2007, reckless driving contributed to 56% of incidents that resulted in death. How many individuals have been needlessly killed on the roads due to reckless behavior is challenging to estimate.

A conviction for reckless driving in California can result in severe consequences. To drive recklessly is to display carelessness, irresponsibility, or incompetence when operating a motor vehicle. You can label them with any name you wish, but they are the real killers on the road.

Reckless drivers needlessly put the lives of others in peril. Careless drivers should never be allowed to operate motor vehicles. Negligent drivers should be required to cover the costs of any problems they cause.
