Reckless Driving

To prove reckless driving the state must prove two elements:

1. Defendant operated a vehicle.
2. Defendant did so with a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.

Willful means intentionally, knowingly and purposely.

Wanton means with a conscious and intentional indifference to consequences and with knowledge that damage or injury is likely to result from the driver’s actions.
