Careless Driving is a serious allegation that can result in steep fines, demerit points, increased insurance premiums, and even the risk of losing your licence. Our experienced paralegal team in Brampton will carefully review your case, outline your legal options, and build a strong defence strategy aimed at protecting both your driving record and your future.
Careless driving, as defined under Section 130 of the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) of Ontario, operating a motor vehicle without proper care, attention, or reasonable regard for the safety of others on the road. This charge can apply to all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles. Since it is treated as a strict liability offence, the prosecution does not need to prove intent; it is enough to establish that the driver’s actions fell below the standard expected of a prudent and reasonable driver.
From October 2023 to September 2024, more than 800 drivers in Brampton faced this offence. A conviction can remain on your record for three years or more, leading to increased insurance premiums, denial of coverage, and significant financial strain. In cases involving bodily harm or death, the penalties can be even more severe, with serious legal and personal consequences.
Because of these risks, careless driving is one of the most commonly fought charges in Brampton Provincial Court. Drivers facing this offence often fight the charge to avoid heavy fines, demerit points, possible licence suspension, job loss, and other long-term repercussions.
