Negligent driving is having other distractions or agendas above being safely on the road. This includes the current favorite issue with cellphones, watching movies as you drive, passing other drivers with little or no warning, loud booming music, driving under the influence and so on. Basically, you should drive so as to not inconvenience any other driver: they should not have to brake for you, close their windows to avoid sound, and pedestrians should be safe in crosswalks and elsewhere.

Being in the state of inertia for a long period of time

================================================

In order to qualify for the label "negligent," there must be activities or actions that are supposed to be enacted. There can be no negligence where there is nothing required; ergo, nothing required, nothing neglected. For example: If

there has been a list of priorities prepared for the gathering and also a list of accomplishments to be completed, if these lists were not dispatched within a reasonable length of time, then their failure could definitely be considered as neglect.

Negligence happens when one is not being careful or is reckless to the point someone is harmed. This term is used in accident and injury cases very often.
