Did you just let go of your steering wheel while driving like Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) did in Fight Club (1999) with the narrator (Edward Norton)? Or did you attempt a reenactment of Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) destroying a white 25th anniversary Lamborghini Countach? Minus the Lamborghini, of course.

Durden and Norton walked away from letting go, but Belfort is arrested for reckless driving.

Reckless driving is mostly cool in movies where even if people die or are injured and property is destroyed or damaged, we all know it’s just make-believe. But letting go when you’re behind the wheel has serious consequences in the real California rather than the fake Hollywood.

Reckless driving in California is more than a routine traffic violation. It is operating a motor vehicle with a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of other people or property. That means the Fight Club drivers are guilty, not the driver in The Wolf of Wall Street, who should have been arrested for a DUI.

Reckless driving is a misdemeanor, but don’t sigh in relief. These days, people are being sentenced to federal prison for a misdemeanor.
