What exactly is considered careless driving in Minnesota?

Careless driving encompasses operating or stopping your vehicle in a manner that disregards the safety of others or property. This broad definition includes a variety of behaviors, such as driving too fast for conditions, not signaling properly, or any action that could potentially harm others or their belongings.

Can speeding lead to a careless driving charge?

Yes, especially when the speed at which you are traveling is considered dangerous. While instances below 100 miles per hour are less common, significant endangerment to others or their property due to excessive speed can indeed result in such charges.

Is it possible for a DWI charge to be reduced to careless driving?

There are cases where, due to low blood alcohol concentration or issues with the evidence, a plea to reduce a DWI charge to careless driving might be proposed. It’s a nuanced area that requires careful legal evaluation to determine the best course of action.

How will a conviction affect me?

A conviction of careless driving in Minnesota marks your driving record and can lead to increased insurance premiums for up to five years, emphasizing the importance of addressing these charges promptly and effectively.

Do I have to appear in court for a careless driving charge?
