What is the Definition of Reckless Driving in Parker, Colorado?
The definition of Reckless Driving, C.R.S. 42-4-1401, in Parker, Colorado, is:
“Like in Careless Driving cases, a jury must decide whether a person drove in a manner that was “wanton” or “willful”. In other words, a jury must decide whether a person drove recklessly on purpose or intentionally. Of course, it is difficult to prove what a person’s true intentions were in Reckless Driving cases, and the vagueness of this law doesn’t help. Fortunately, in many cases, our criminal defense lawyers use the vagueness of a law to create reasonable doubt and win at trial.“A person who drives a motor vehicle, bicycle, electrical assisted bicycle, or low-power scooter in such a manner as to indicate either a wanton or a willful disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving.”
