Careless Driving and Reckless Driving Defense
It is important to understand the difference between charges of careless driving and reckless driving. Here is a basic guide, though, if you have been cited for either charge, it is important to contact our office and speak with a lawyer about the specifics of your charge.
- Careless Driving - Usually a less serious individual charge, like any other civil traffic ticket, a careless driving charge can ultimately impact your pocketbook and right to drive. Careless driving is often associated with an accident if you failed to account for road conditions or became distracted by the radio or a cell phone, though others are cited as a result of erratic lane changes or in conjunction with another violation.
- Reckless Driving - A more serious infraction, reckless driving comes under the heading of criminal traffic violation. Along with more severe consequences, including suspension and heavier fines, reckless driving charges can also appear as part of a criminal record. Charges of reckless driving may result from aggressive driving, road rage, injury-related car accidents, highway racing, DUI and other offenses that put other drivers at substantial risk.
