The standard of culpability for careless driving, which does not require intentional or reckless behavior.
“A very common one is careless driving. So oftent times if you're involved in an accident and the cops determine that you're the at fault party or even if they determine both parties are at fault, you can be charged with careless driving, which is just that you were doing anything in an imprudent manner that you disregarded the widths, grade, curves, or any other circumstances of the road. So it's an extremely broad statute just discussing pretty much that you disregarded some traffic signal or a curve or you're going a little too fast, things like that. And so we often see it with traffic accidents, you being charged with careless, and it's just an imprudent manner and really a negligent standard. It doesn't mean that there's any intentional behavior or reckless behavior in your driving.”
