Congratulations on getting your license! Luckily, it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll accidentally do something that would be considered reckless driving in the state of
Alabama
. Reckless driving is defined as behavior that endangers others or shows a willful disregard for the safety of other people or property. Some examples of reckless driving include:- Driving over the speed limit by 15 MPH or more
- Refusing to stop at a stop sign or red light
- Passing a stopped school bus
- Weaving through lanes of traffic
- Repeatedly switching lanes without signaling
All of these behaviors are considered dangerous both for the driver and others on the road. Try to avoid them, even after you’ve had your license for a while!
