California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Eaton, C085625 (Cal. App. 2019):
Misdemeanor evading under Vehicle Code section 2800.1 is a lesser included offense of felony evading under Vehicle Code section 2800.2. (People v. Springfield (1993) 13 Cal.App.4th 1674, 1679-1680.) "The only distinction between the two crimes is that in committing the greater offense the defendant drives the pursued vehicle 'in a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.'
