CARELESS DRIVING

Careless driving is a very common citation issued in Florida. Many of these citations are issued for rear-end collisions. However, many of these citations are issued when there is no accident involved. Florida statute 316.1925 defines careless driving as:

Any person operating a vehicle upon the streets or highways within the state shall drive the same in a careful and prudent manner, having regard for the width, grade, curves, corners, traffic, and all other attendant circumstances, so as not to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person. Failure to drive in such manner shall constitute careless driving and a violation of this section.

Some Careless Driving cases may involve Aggressive Driving, collision or Serious Bodily Injury. If you have been charged with Careless Driving, contact Lee F. Carney to review your citation.
