hey guys
i have a quick question. i was charged with careless driving in may of 2005 by the florida highway patrol. i was delivering pizzas at the time. i left on a delivery and had not noticed the puddle of oil that i stepped in. there was a car stopped at the traffic light and i was idling up to the light. when i went to step on the brakes my foot slid off and tapped the accelerator which resulted in lightly tapping the rear end of the car stopped at the light in front of me. it cracked the cars tail light and sprung their trunk. i got a report from my insurance company and it stated that progressive paid out 2200 dollars for repairs including rental car labor and parts. there was no injuries sustained in the accident and no medical costs. the charge sounds worse than the accident. i recieved a letter in the mail today from trans am trucking and it said my application looked great. i also recieved a letter from usis and inside was my dac report that trans am requested. the accident showed up as a careless driving conviction and that 4 points were on my licence. i assume that they already read my dac report and i guess they are fine with it as they are scheduling me for orienataion for april 2nd. i did put the accident down on my application. does anybody think im going to have a hard time about this accident after i make it to orientation. by the way that is the only thing on my mvr. thanks for any awnsers.
careless driving charge in may 05 will this affect me bad
