     (2021)                             479
    PER CURIAM
    Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for reck-
    lessly endangering another person, arguing that the trial
    court plainly erred by failing to sua sponte instruct the jury
    that it must agree as to which of several driving maneuvers
    formed the basis of its verdict, and which of several other
    drivers on the road were endangered by that conduct. We
    affirm.
    To prove the crime of recklessly endangering
    another person, the state may properly rely on defendant’s
    course of driving which put all of the other drivers at a
    potential risk of harm—which may involve more than one
    individual, specific maneuver. Accordingly, the trial court
    did not err, plainly or otherwise, in failing to instruct the
    jury as to concurrence.
    Affirmed.
