Reckless Driving
Little kids donโt have to care about anything. Children are too young to have a worry in the world. Their biggest priority is when will they eat another chocolate chip cookie? Typically, the most harm they could do is cry about Mom saying no to dessert.
Adults? With age comes more responsibilities. Lack of responsibility could result in negatively impacting another person. Most of the time, itโs essential that adults are not careless. The only exception being when weโre dancing; let loose!
When is it especially not okay to be careless?
When youโre driving. Itโs never okay to recklessly drive. Reckless driving means driving while showing disregard to the safety of those around you, or driving without thinking of the consequences of your decisions. Driving can be very dangerous and could badly injure or kill another human being.
What is considered โreckless drivingโ?
