What is considered reckless driving in Idaho?
I’m going to be visiting Idaho for a short road trip in a few weeks, and I want to be prepared. I know that the driving laws are different in each state, so I want to make sure I’m following the rules while I’m there. What is considered “reckless driving” in Idaho?
