Reckless and careless driving might sound like they refer to the same thing, but they do have some major distinctions worth learning about. For starters, a typical traffic ticket would be issued if a driver is cited for careless driving. The words "careless driving" will also act as a comprehensive term for traffic accidents that are not life-threatening and for which a driver receives a careless driving citation.
Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/11/2021 -- Reckless carries broader implications, as suggested by the name. To begin with, a reckless driving charge would usually result in a court warrant, and a driver may also be arrested based on the seriousness of the accident that led to the reckless driving charge. Reckless driving means that the driver has demonstrated a deliberate disregard for the welfare of other vehicles while on the road and there may be multiple violations involved.
