i got a careless driving ticket.......you get 2 points and have to pay a $85 ticket........but if you show up to court the judge will remove the points from your licence....you still have to pay the fine
$85 ($87 with convenience fee if you pay online) and 2 points on your license.
You get 2 points for careless driving.
careless driving will put my insuarance rate up
One way to avoid points on a careless driving ticket is to go to court and offer to plead guilty to a lesser offense rather than forcing the municipality to go to trial on the matter. In New Jersey, it is very common to plead down to a charge of Operating a Vehicle in an Unsafe Manner. This charge carries a $250 surcharge over an above the usual fines for careless driving, but there are no points.
The ticket only says careless driving, so that is all you will get charged with. If you are charged with reckless driving, you can present the ticket as proof you were not given anything about it.
Yes. He can't do it while you are driving.
There is no specific "unsafe lane change" in NJ, so the ticket may be for careless driving or simply failure to use the turn signal. In hte event an accident occurred, the ticket would almost certainly be for careless driving. The fines for each will vary by the local municipal court. The turn signal fine could run from $25 to $100, with the careless driving fine from $50 to $250. However, what is worse is the careless driving is a moving violation, which will place points on your license (these will be placed there even if you are unlicensed completely and will last for years). The points will result in higher insurance costs for years and can result in loss of license.
2 + Fines
you will get 3 points and no your license can not be taken just for that It depends on which state you live in. In some US states, careless driving is an automatic license suspension, plus a fine and maybe, jail time. Depends on the situation and the Judge's attitude towards bad drivers. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS GETTING THE "CARELESS" AND THE "RECKLESS" DRIVING CONFUSED.IF IT'S "CARELESS DRIVING" NO POINTS SHOULD BE ADDED. SOMETIMES A COP WILL ISSUE IT THAT WAY SO THE STATE GETS SOME MONEY BUT HE'S HELPING YOU OUT. IT'S USUALLY JUST A FINE YOU HAVE TO PAY. I HAVE 2 CARELESS DRIVING TICKETS MYSELF AND THE ONE COP EXPLAINED IT TO ME THAT HE HAS THE RIGHT TO LESSEN A CHARGE TO CARELESS DRIVING TO HELP YOU IF HE WANTS TO. HE COULD HAVE CHARGED ME "FAILURE TO YIELD RIGHT OF WAY ON ONE OF MINE AND 4 POINTS BUT TOOK IT EASY ON ME AND JUST CHARGED THE CARELESS DRIVING $130 AND NO POINTS. MY BROTHER IS A HIGHWAY PATROLMAN SO I KNOW THIS WAS TRUE BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY CALLED HIM TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE COP GOT THERE. NOW A "RECKLESS DRIVING" CHARGE IS MUCH WORSE AND I'M NOT SURE OF THE POINTS VIOLATION IN YOUR STATE BUT IT CAN'T BE GOOD BECAUSE IT'S A MAJOR TICKET WHERE AS THE CARELESS IN A MINOR INFRACTION..
