    Bet it's not close to $1000 repair either.

    It's amazing how much a little scratch can cost.

    I think it goes deeper then just paying it.If he doesn't get it reduced it could be a few yrs before he drives again even with the worst of the worst companies.

    Op if you plan on trying to get this reduced I would suggest you hurry up and do so, once a yr has passed I doubt you'll have a case.
     
    paulpost and TequilaSunrise Thank this.

    Can not tell for sure by your statement, but have you been to court and convicted already, or is your case still pending?

    I retract my statement of not being worthy of an attorney. Further review showed me careless driving is a little more of an issue than thought. Then I haven't had but 1 ticket in 20 years, and that was 16 years ago. As a young lad I drove very fast cars, and not a lick o sense.

    your impeccable driving record before this careless charge won't make a bit of difference far as trucking companies are concerned.All they'll see is that careless driving which is as bad as a drunk driving charge and abandonement.So I would try and get it reduced.But if you already pled guilty then sad to say you're probably SOL.
