WHAT IS CARELESS DRIVING?
Careless driving is driving below the standard of a competent and careful driver. It is also described as driving ‘without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road or place’. The court will have to be satisfied that you are ‘at fault’.
The Highway Code is often a good guide.
Examples of cases in which we have been involved include:
- Driving a defective vehicle when the defect was known to the driver
- Overtaking on the inside
- Driving inappropriately close to another vehicle
- Driving through a red light causing an accident
- Emerging from a side road into the path of another vehicle
- Turning right across the path of another vehicle causing an accident
- Driving over the centre white line and colliding with an oncoming vehicle
Examples of cases in which we have been involved relating to driving with reasonable consideration include:
- Flashing of lights to force another driver to give way
- Misuse of a lane to avoid queueing
- Unnecessarily remaining in an overtaking lane
- Unnecessarily slow driving or braking without good cause
- Driving with undipped headlights thus dazzling oncoming drivers
- Driving through a puddle causing a pedestrian to be splashed
Typically, careless driving is a momentary negligent error of judgment or a single negligent manoeuvre.
SENTENCING
The courts have guidelines as follows:
A momentary lapse of concentration or misjudgement at low speed | Band A Fine | 3-4 points |
Loss of control due to speed, mishandling or insufficient attention to road conditions, or carelessly turning right across oncoming traffic | Band B Fine | 5-8 points |
Overtaking manoeuvre at speed resulting in a collision of vehicles, or driving bordering on the dangerous | Band C Fine | Consider disqualification OR 7-9 points |
