I can only really use the car example again... Let's say someone genuinely thinks it's safe to overtake, at a reasonable speed, on a country road but something happens - something wrong with the car, maybe even something they could or should have noticed - and they end up forcing another car off the road and someone dies. There's still an element of fault, but when it comes right down to it, when they made that decision they didn't know how risky it was.
Now, compare that to the car doing 100mph and over-taking on a blind corner. THAT is stupid, reckless and dangerous. It's no less stupid, reckless or dangerous if the road happens to be clear and they make it round and home in one piece. The action itself is what is stupid and reckless. The fact that it might turn out fine DOES NOT MATTER.
