    I figured that. But there has to be a legal difference. Since they have both listed as a traffic offense.

    The reason why I'm asking is because I went to GA Driver's Services today to get a copy on my MVR...

    In the past 7 years I have had 3 tickets.

    10/23/09 Failure to obey traffic sign in California. (officer was nice, should have been a left lane violation). Commercial Vehicle YES

    7/02/07 Improper lane or location in Indiana (left lane violation) Commercial Vehicle NO.... But it actually was!

    2/10/06 Careless Driving in Mississippi (this was the mishap with that MS Trooper who was in my blind spot... I originally thought it was a reckless) Commecial Vehicle YES

    Careless is just that, without due care. Reckless is knowingly driving in a reckless manner. The difference is in the intent.

    Interesting? Maybe you should have asked the BMV when you got the report? I'd think that careless is not quite as bad as reckless but what do i know.

    I stood in line for over 2 hours with a hundred other people in a room no larger then a flying j tv room.... The place was starting to stink & I was ready to get the hell out of there! I didn't hang around to ask questions. I was on a quest for fresh air!!!

    Yes, reckless is worse than careless. So you got the lesser charge if I'm reading this right.
