Careless Driving
How We Can Help You Fight Your Careless Driving Charge:
We can rigorously challenge the evidence presented against you. For example, a client was recently charged with going through a set of traffic lights and colliding with a vehicle crossing the traffic lights. It was shown that there was no evidence that the client went against a green signal, and accordingly a no case to answer submission was made. The client was acquitted in this matter.
