Reckless Driving Lawyers

Reckless driving is a criminal offence in Australia that occurs when an individual operates a motor vehicle in a manner that is dangerous to other people or property. This may include driving at excessive speeds, weaving in and out of traffic, ignoring traffic signals or engaging in other reckless behaviour behind the wheel. It can ultimately lead to more serious offences such as Negligent Driving (Occasioning Grievous Bodily Harm), Negligent Driving (Occasioning Death), Dangerous Driving (Occasioning Grievous Bodily Harm) and Dangerous Driving (Occasioning Death).

It’s important to remember that reckless driving is not defined by a specific blood alcohol concentration or substance use, unlike drink or drug driving. Instead, it is defined by how the vehicle is operated.
