Careless driving is a charge placed upon someone when involved in a collision. This covers many driving situations – chief of this is being charged with ‘careless driving’ if you are at high risk of ‘driving a motor vehicle without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the highway’. Thus, penalties can range from demerit points to the driving record, a speeding ticket no more than $2000, suspension of driver’s licence and possible imprisonment. This, penalties for this offence are quite severe if you plead guilty.

A ‘careless driving’ offence results in a significant increase to your insurance premiums, given that it directly affects one’s driving record. Having a proper team of defense professionals will act in your best interest, helping to eliminate your charges – or if not, reduce the charge and minimize the impact to keep you out of jail.
