Results Driven Careless Driving Defence Lawyers
When police issue you a careless driving ticket, it often looks like any usual speeding ticket. You might think you can just pay the fine and forget about it. Don’t make that mistake. Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act considers careless driving the most serious provincial offence. A conviction can really mess up your finances and ability to drive.
Ticket as Catch All for Careless Driving
People are often surprised by this charge because they weren’t driving aggressively. The truth is that police often use this charge as a catch all after an accident. If you back into someone in traffic that crawls along or slide on ice patches, investigators are likely to give you this ticket. They usually arrive, see the damaged cars, hear drivers point fingers at each other and infer that someone wasn’t paying attention. Drivers naturally rush to explain themselves at the scene of an accident. Feeling shaken up, they want to say they were distracted or adjusting the radio. STOP TALKING. Every word you say winds up in the officer’s notebook to build against you. Your only obligation is handing over your license, registration, and proof of insurance.
Consequences of Conviction for Carelessness
The fine on the ticket is just the beginning. For a standard conviction for careless driving, you face fines up to $2,000, six demerit points, and up to six months in jail. Most important, a Justice of Peace can suspend your license for up to two years. If driving caused injury or death, stakes rise dramatically. Maximum fine rises to $50,000, jail time could go up to two years, and you might face a five year suspension of your license.
Insurance Companies and Careless Driving
Even without a court order suspending your license, your insurance company will almost certainly classify you as a high risk driver and premiums will skyrocket or your policy will be canceled outright.
Careless Driving in Brampton
Because careless driving relies heavily on interpretation, it is very defensible. Prosecutors must prove that your driving fell below that of a prudent driver in those specific circumstances. Law does not demand perfection. A moment of poor judgment or an unavoidable accident caused by black ice is not automatically careless driving. We closely review police notes and witness statements and collision metrics. Often prosecutors lack sufficient evidence to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. We use gaps in evidence to negotiate down to a minor traffic ticket or push to have the charge dropped completely.
Accepting a ticket automatically means guilty. Have professionals review evidence before you suffer a serious blow to your driving record.
