What is the test for determining whether there is a risk of harm to the public in a motor vehicle accident?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Crockett, 184 Cal.Rptr.3d 242, 234 Cal.App.4th 642 (Cal. App. 2015):

However, we have recently concluded that this is not impermissibly vague, and does not carry a meaning any different than in any other circumstance in the law where the standard of behavior is that of the reasonable person. (People v. Garcia (2014) 230 Cal.App.4th 763, 769, 178 Cal.Rptr.3d 883.) Thus, as with a review of discretion generally, we must determine in light of the evidence whether a trial court's finding of a risk of danger to the public is one that a reasonable person would not entertain.

4.1.2 Criminal history: Its nature and present relevance are the pertinent criteria
