    OK, first off, a charge of Careless Driving is often what they give you if they feel you were the cause of an accident, but they can't find anything else to charge you with. It is not nearly as serious as a Reckless Driving charge. I think what you will need to do, is to explain what happened to any potential employer that you speak with.

    I may be wrong, but I don't think it will be a "career stopper" for you.

    Thanks,that gives me some hope.If it were to be a problem, would trying to find an oo who needs a co-driver be something for me to look at?And if so,where would i post something like that?

    MY record is cluttered with tickets, didn't stop me with my EX-employer. Only big thing was a safety violation, in which I was suspended for 2 weeks over.

    It is an insurance thing. Owner operators might be less then likely to take you on if their insurance rates go up. Your best bet is a large company.

    And I don't think it will stop you.
