A defendant was involved in an accident in which her car struck the rear end of the car driven by the plaintiff. The police issued tickets to the defendant, charging her with reckless driving and speeding. When the defendant's case came before the traffic court, her attorney entered into a plea bargain with the prosecutor. Under the plea bargain, the defendant agreed to plead guilty to speeding and to pay a fine of $100, and the prosecution agreed to drop the reckless driving charge. Accordingly, the defendant pleaded guilty and the court fined her $100. In the later civil suit, where the plaintiff is seeking damages from the defendant for personal injuries, is the guilty plea before the traffic court admiss?

a. Yes, because it is a statement by an opposing party.
b. Yes, because it is a statement against interest.
c. No, because there is a public policy in favor of plea bargaining to promote court efficiency.
d. No, because no felony was involved.

Although each state and locality has its own definition of reckless driving, the FMCSA defines it as "operating a motor vehicle in intentional or wanton disregard for the safety of individuals or property." It is regarded as a deliberate or conscious disregard for driving laws and vehicle operation with knowledge that harm could result.

Numerous actions and more than a dozen specific infractions qualify as hazardous behaviour, including:

Extremely fast driving (25 miles per hour or more over the posted speed limit)
ignoring stop signs or red lights
intentionally omitting to give way to pedestrians and other vehicles
driving while intoxicated or under the influence
competing with other cars
eluding detection by the police
passing over a double yellow line on a two-lane highway
a stopped school bus is passed
driving while texting

Therefore, reckless driving is a much bigger problem than SMS scores, higher insurance rates, and the possibility of losing one's job. It might result in fatalities. In order to prevent and remedy irresponsible driving, fleet operations must include constant monitoring and training.
