Reckless driving in California is codified in the Vehicle Code under Section 23104. An individual is guilty of this offense “whenever reckless driving of a vehicle proximately causes bodily injury to a person other than the driver.”
A conviction will result in a minimum 30 day jail sentence. The 30 day jail sentence is the minimum the sentence the court must impose. Depending on the circumstances, the prosecutor or court may impose a longer sentence.
