What type of operation must Reckless Operation take place in comparison to Careless Operation?

Reckless operation is characterized by engaging in behaviors that demonstrate a willful disregard for the safety of persons or property, and it can occur anywhere, not just in specific locations. This means that a driver can be charged with reckless operation regardless of whether they are on public highways, private property, or other areas. The essential factor for reckless operation is the nature of the driver's conduct rather than the specific location.

In contrast, careless operation typically involves a failure to exercise the level of care that a reasonable person would use in similar circumstances, and it may be more closely associated with the roadway context, often leading to differentiation based on location. However, with reckless operation, the potential for danger and the nature of the actions taken by the driver can happen in any setting, making the broad applicability of 'anywhere' the correct understanding in this context.
