First you say, "Reckless driving is defined as driving indifferently to or disregardful of the consequences." Then you say, "If you pour 4 beers down your gullet and get behind the wheel, then no matter how carefully and straight you are driving, IMO you are driving recklessly." ******************** Websters says: One entry found for careful. Main Entry: care·ful Pronunciation: -f&l Function: adjective Inflected Form(s): care·ful·ler; care·ful·lest 1 archaic a : SOLICITOUS, ANXIOUS b : filling with care or solicitude 2 : exercising or taking care 3 a : marked by attentive concern and solicitude b : marked by wary caution or prudence c : marked by painstaking effort to avoid errors or omissions -- often used with of or an infinitive - care·ful·ly /-f(&-)lE/ adverb ******************** So, you think that someone driving carefully after 4 beers (undefined time) is driving indifferently to or disregarding consequences. Why don't you say that someone who drinks 4 beers can not drive carefully. Your statements above point to an emotionally driven response void of logic. Would you agree to laws that mandate that after 3 moving violations a driver is given a felony? If not, why not? Isn't any moving violation considered wreckless driving?

That pretty much nails it, as you will see as you keep going through the thread.
