Careless Driving and Failure to Use Due Care

These types of tickets are often written at the scene of an accident and can be charged under Florida Statute 316.185 (special hazards) or 316.1925 (Careless Driving). These infractions can result in three (3) points being assessed against your driver license. There can be many defenses to these tickets including the Accident Report Privilege, an insufficient description of the accident, and witness problems.
