Explanation:
Equivalents of "reckless" can be "desconsiderado/a" or "descuidado/a" depending on context. These two options are found in informal or semiformal register while "imprudente" and "hacer caso omiso de" in formal or very formal register in Spanish.

  • "Si la comunidad te dice que estás siendo desconsiderado, reflexiona sobre tu comportamiento".
  • "¡Qué descuidado que es! Dejó el piso mojado y se fue; ahora capaz que un paciente se resbala, cae y se rompe la espalda".
