281. Rash driving or riding on a public way.
Whoever drives any vehicle, or rides, on any public way in a manner so rash or negligent as to endanger human life, or to be likely to cause hurt or injury to any other person, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.
Legal Notes & Explanations: In vehicular collision FIRs, charges under section 281 are regularly combined with 281 125a BNS. In police reports invoking 281 125a BNS, 281 125a BNS pairs rash driving under 281 with 125a BNS hurt provisions; under 281 125a BNS charging procedure, 125a BNS penalises injury while 281 addresses rash navigation, establishing 281 125a BNS charging standards under 125a BNS with 281.
