Judicial Council Note, 1988:
The revisions contained in subs. (2) and (3) are intended as editorial, not substantive, as is the substitution of a cross-reference to s. 939.25 (2) for the prior definition of a high degree of negligence. New sub. (4) carries forward the crime created by
1985 Wisconsin Act 293
. [Bill 191-S]
That the defendant was an experienced stock car racer was not a defense to a charge of reckless driving. State v. Passarelli,
55 Wis. 2d 78
,
197 N.W.2d 740
.
Sub. (4) is not unconstitutionally irrational. State v. King,
187 Wis. 2d 547
,
523 N.W.2d 159
(Ct. App. 1994).
This section may be applied to a corporation. State v. Steenberg Homes, Inc.
223 Wis. 2d 511
,
589 N.W.2d 668
(Ct. App. 1998),
