Ah, sounds like an old traffic copper that knows what he's talking about!
In California, where I was on the job, you had to be able to document 3 or more separate violations to charge reckless. Of course that was back in the dark ages. Things may have changed. But not likely for the better...

You'd have to prove he INTENDED to hurt/maim/kill as that is called a "crime of intention."

To quote Dirty Harry, "A man's got to know his limitations!"

 

Big Don, Reckless still (in IL anyway) requires multiple factors.

 

Why would veering slightly make a medical condition unlikely? As if you'd hold the wheel straight while incapacitated. Hardly a swerve there.

It's odd at the end perspective view that there was stopped traffic spaced apart behind a lead vehicle which had nothing in front of it and was moving (usually that would be bumper to bumper, or else someone would have to fix that... I don't know, perhaps someone was looking too far ahead).

 

Video looks like a movie stunt. Unreal.

 

Quite possible that the lead car was broken down.

Yes, it does. However, take a look at post # 2 and go to the link.

 

Yeah here reckless is some sort of intent that puts others in position to be severely injured. The intent part is crazy hard to prove on a vehicle.

 

Attempted murder. Life in prison.

 

Again, you would have to prove intent. Big difference between intent, and result.
