Facing a careless driving charge in Mississauga Ontario? It’s a serious offence that can lead to high fines, demerit points, licence suspension, and skyrocketing insurance. We’ll help you fight the charge, explore your legal options, and work to protect your driving record and your future.
Careless driving, as defined under Section 130 of the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) of Ontario, occurs when a driver operates a vehicle without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other road users. This is a serious offense that applies to all motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and even bicycles. Careless driving is a strict liability offense, meaning the prosecution does not need to prove intent—only that the driver’s actions fell below the standard of a reasonable and prudent driver.
A careless driving conviction can remain on a driver’s record for three years or more, leading to increased insurance rates, potential denial of coverage, and long-term financial consequences. In cases involving serious injury or death, the charge can also have significant legal and personal ramifications for the driver.
Because of its severity, careless driving is one of the most frequently contested traffic offenses in Ontario, as a conviction can lead to substantial penalties, job loss for professional drivers, and long-term consequences.
