Reckless Driving
Reckless driving is the bane of our society in todays world. Thousands of innocent people die every year because some moron wants to drive as fast as he or she can to impress their mates, among other reasons of course, a few of which well delve into in this article.
Defined as a serious moving traffic violation, reckless driving is the next level of careless driving, and has severe fines and penalties attached to a conviction. The more serious offenses of reckless driving carry with them multiple penalties. There are thousands of people who have permanently lost their right to a driving license thanks to some burst of insanity at a young age, and can never drive again in their lives.
In different states there are different punishments for reckless driving, however they are all very serious!
The most common reasons for reckless driving are:
Alcohol " No surprises there, top of the list is being under the influence of alcohol while driving. The punishments for this tend to be more severe than the other reasons because there are two charges, driving under the influence of alcohol and reckless driving. The artificial high that alcohol gives you can cause over confidence and adrenaline bursts tend to make people want to go as fast as possible.
Peer Pressure " When people (particularly young people) drive with a group of friends, it is common for the friends to goad the driver into overtaking a particular vehicle or generally just to drive faster, which results in reckless driving. To be charged with reckless driving, you dont actually have to cause a crash, you just have to be seen, by human eyes or by video camera, driving recklessly.
Drugs..enough said I think!
Road Rage " This is a growing cause of reckless driving, and the most common reasons for road rage are continuous traffic jams, congestion, or it could just be bad manners!
It is by no standards an extensive list, but there are enough reasons to put thousands of people in hospital each year and thousands more in cemeteries. Reckless driving is simply not acceptable whatever the reason and it is up to the citizens to take a strong stand against it. - 21396
