Careless Driving/ Reckless Driving

Reckless Driving  is a traffic criminal misdemeanor that cannot be expunged if convicted. This charge must be defended aggressively. The prosecution bears the burden of proving,  beyond a reasonable doubt,   that the vehicle was driven with a wanton or willful disregard for the safety of other persons or property. If found guilty, a  reckless driving conviction  will wreak havoc. An attorney should be retained to protect your driving privleges and to be employed in a driving capacity. This is imparative, especially,  if you are a Commercial Driving License (CDL) Holder  or a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Driver. 

Reckless Driving, as outlined in MCL 257.626, is punishable by by imprisonment for up to 93 days and/or a fine of not more than $500 or both. Reckless Driving adds just as many points to the driving abstract as a DUI, OUID,  or a negligent homicide accident.

What is the difference between Reckless and Careless Driving? Careless Driving  is negligent operation of a vehicle, minus the wanton disregard. It carries less points, but looks almost as bad on a driving record, and drives up insurance astromically. This charge should also be defended zealously.
