Abstract

This brief study investigates the actual subjective nature of the so call "unconscious" recklessness (negligence), mainly from national practice. The thesis is that normative definition of negligence by breach of a standard of care does not mean rejecting subjective considerations. Other associated problems, which are aimed solely from the responses, also warned advertised. Thus, the central subjective question appears only as background for further studies.
