THE MEANING OF RECKLESS

NHVR has published guidance on the meaning of ‘Reckless’. The guide states that:

  • Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law, a person is reckless as to the risk if they are aware of the possibility of death, serious injury or illness as a result of their conduct and still choose to engage in that conduct.
  • It doesn’t matter if there is less than a 50% chance of the risk occurring – if death, serious injury or illness is a possibility, it’s a real risk for you.
  • If you ignore a risk that is known to you, you may be found to be reckless.
