Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
After a football game, a driver speeds and spins his tires through a crowded high school parking lot. People walk between the parked cars. Can this be reckless driving under South Dakota law?
Correct answer: Yes, because the law also covers school property, alleys and public parks
Why
South Dakota defines reckless driving as driving with careless disregard for the safety or rights of others, or without due caution at a speed or in a way that puts people or property in danger. Reckless driving is a Class 1 misdemeanor and puts 8 points on a driving record. A crowded parking lot needs a slow, careful speed, because people walk out from between parked cars.
