Frequently asked questions
What counts as careless driving?
Driving that falls below the standard of a careful and competent driver — for example momentary inattention, tailgating or an avoidable collision. Context matters, and we examine it closely.
What penalties could I get?
Typically 3 to 9 penalty points and a fine, though serious cases can bring a discretionary ban. We work to keep points and penalties as low as possible.
Can I get a fixed penalty instead?
In some cases the police offer a fixed penalty or a driver awareness course. We advise on whether to accept or challenge what is offered.
