Follow on Google News | Daytona Beach Reckless Driving LawyerDaytona Beach drivers often confuse Daytona Beach careless driving cases with Daytona Beach reckless driving cases. Daytona Beach traffic attorney Kevin J. Pitts explains the difference between these two types of cases.
Daytona Beach careless driving is a civil infraction that can be paid, can be resolved by electing a basic driver improvement course and paying or can be contested in traffic court. We recommend that drivers in Volusia County contest careless driving citations. Careless driving like reckless driving requires that person or property be endangered but the state only has to show negligence instead of willfulness. In traffic court the requirement of a wheel witness can cause problems for the state. The requirement that the citation has an adequate description also can get some cases thrown out. The fine for careless driving is just over $160 and if adjudication is withheld points can be avoided. If property damage is not present insurance rates will not increase if adjudication is withheld. Volusia County had 4,541 careless driving cases in 2012. Attorney Kevin J. Pitts has prosecuted and defended reckless driving cases in Volusia County. Mr. Pitts also frequently handles careless driving tickets and has a site dedicated to both reckless and careless driving law and defenses. Kevin Pitts has offices in Daytona Beach and Sanford. End
