Reckless driving is reworded in Sections 1 & 2
There are three offences:
Section 1: Causing Death by Dangerous Driving
Section 2: Dangerous Driving
Section 3: Careless and Inconsiderate Driving
If you are just careless and run somebody over a kill them, you will get done under Section 3.
Careless driving is endemic. reckless driving is criminal.

Yes. It doesn't matter where you did your reckless driving. In a car park or high road. Car is a dangerous machine, you should drive it with care and concentration and with other road users in mind. It becomes a reckles driving if you put other people's life in danger and you could be done for it.

Yes, EVEN if the car park is privately owned - it makes no difference. Reckless driving is reckless driving wherever you do it.

No Police have more pressing things to do with thier under-staffed stations than stop everyone on the local supermarket for driving like a complete w*nker!. If that was the case, they would fit speed camaras, CCTv equipment and have duty officers posted at every car park and rake in the money for every driving offence commited!.

Yes. What'll be worse is the poor old dear innocently doing her shopping you'll hit and end up seriously injuring because you want to be all 'big and clever' to your eejit mates. Have a nice life in jail pal.
