Reckless driving
Driving in a manner that disregards caution or endangers others is a traffic violation classified as reckless driving. Examples include aggressive overtaking or behaviors that compromise traffic safety.

Operating a vehicle without a valid license is a severe offense that can result in fines, imprisonment, and an extended waiting period for obtaining a driver’s license.
