It is against the law to drive recklessly in the State of California. California Vehicle Code section 23103(a) says, "Any person who drives any vehicle upon a highway in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving." Willful can mean intent or purpose, while wanton means a reckless disregard of consequences. O.K. now in plain English, Vehicle Code 23103 makes it illegal to voluntarily drive a motor vehicle with an intentional or conscious disregard for the safety of persons or property.
