In the Philippines, reckless imprudence is a criminal offense under the Revised Penal Code.

It happens when a person causes damage to property, injury, or death because of carelessness, without having criminal intent or bad intentions.

The person did not mean to hurt anyone, but because of their careless actions or failure to take proper caution, an accident happened.

Some common examples of reckless imprudence include car accidents caused by overspeeding, drunk driving, or reckless driving.

It also includes situations where someone accidentally injures another person by being careless or causes property damage by not following safety rules.

The punishment depends on the result of the reckless act. If it caused death, the driver or person involved can be jailed under prision correccional.

If it caused serious injury, there is a lighter penalty, and if it only caused property damage, the punishment is even lighter.
