Recklessness and negligence require some understanding of what you are doing and that it's wrong. So, it's really hard to commit them by mistake.

- dragonwriter 8y ago> Recklessness and negligence require some understanding of what you are doing and that it's wrong. Negligence specifically does not, it only requires the existence of a duty of care (except not in specialized cases, that of reasonable care, which doesn't mean you are aware of risk, but that a reasonable person in your place would be.) Recklessness requires conscious awareness and disregard of risk, but not awareness of wrongness. Harms from recklessness are mistakes, while recklessness itself is not, but negligence is quite normally a mistake.
