A socially dangerous act committed by presumption or carelessness shall be recognized as a reckless crime.

A crime shall be recognized as committed by presumption, if a person who committed it, foresaw a possibility of emergence of socially dangerous and legally punishable consequences of his behavior, and, consciously ignoring proper precaution, groundlessly presumed that such consequences would not emerge.

A crime shall be recognized as committed by carelessness, if a person who committed it, did not foresee a possibility of emergence of socially dangerous and legally punishable consequences of his behavior, though he should have to and could have foreseen them.
