In People v. McNutt (1940) 40 Cal.App.2d Supp. 835, the court construed the words "willful and wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property" in Vehicle Code section 505, a predecessor to Vehicle Code section 23104, and remarked that wanton "'includes the elements of consciousness of one's conduct, intent to do . . . the act in question, realization of the probable injury to another, and reckless disregard of the consequences.'" ( Id. at p. 837.) The court epitomized the language of the statute as being akin to the willful misconduct standard under the former guest statute. The court stated: " 'Wilful misconduct implies at least the intentional doing of something either with a knowledge that serious injury is a probable (as distinguished from a possible) result, or the intentional doing of an act with a wanton and reckless disregard of its possible result.'" ( Id. at p. 838.)
