Negligent Driving

Negligent driving refers to a situation where a driver operates a vehicle carelessly, failing to exercise reasonable caution, which can lead to accidents or injuries. This could include behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving (like using a phone), driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or ignoring traffic signals. Unlike reckless driving, which involves a willful disregard for safety, negligent driving results from a lack of attention or thoughtfulness. If a driver’s actions are considered negligent, they may be held responsible for any damages or harm caused as a result of their driving.
