CALCRIM No. 2200

The defendant is charged [in Count] with reckless driving [in

violation of Vehicle Code section 23103].

To prove that the defendant is guilty of this crime, the People must

prove that:

1. The defendant drove a vehicle (on a highway/in an off-street

parking facility);

AND

2. The defendant intentionally drove with wanton disregard for the

safety of persons or property.

A person acts with wanton disregard for safety when (1) he or she is

aware that his or her actions present a substantial and unjustifiable risk

of harm, and (2) he or she intentionally ignores that risk. The person

does not, however, have to intend to cause damage.

[If you conclude that the defendant drove faster than the legal speed

limit, that fact by itself does not establish that the defendant drove with

wanton disregard for safety. Y ou may consider the defendant’s speed,

along with all the surrounding circumstances, in deciding whether the

defendant drove with wanton disregard for safety.]

[A vehicle is a device by which people or things may be moved on a road

or highway. A vehicle does not include a device that is moved only by

human power or used only on stationary rails or tracks.]

[The term highway describes any area publicly maintained and open to

the public for purposes of vehicular travel, and includes a street.]

[The term[s] (vehicle/ [and] highway) (is/are) defined in another

instruction to which you should refer.]

[An off-street parking facility is an off-street facility open for use by the

public for parking vehicles. It includes a facility open to retail customers,

where no fee is charged for parking.]
