 11 result of such reckless driving.
 12 For purposes of subdivision three of this section, "in concert" shall
 13 mean two or more individuals in separate vehicles engaging in reckless
 14 driving in coordination with one another at the same time and in the

 2 statute in the use or operation of such person's or other person's vehi-
 3 cle.
 4 2. The terms "vehicle" and "owner" shall have the same meanings as in
