• Michigan’s reckless driving statute is codified at MCL 257.626, with careless driving at MCL 257.626b and driving while license suspended at MCL 257.904.
• People v Jones, 249 Mich App 131, 135 (2001) — the Michigan Court of Appeals confirmed that reckless driving under MCL 257.626 requires proof of a wanton or willful disregard for safety, a higher standard than the simple negligence needed for a careless driving civil infraction.
