Florida Penalties for Careless Driving

The maximum fine for careless driving is $500 plus court costs if you are adjudicated guilty. In Broward County, the average fine is just over $160.00 for a person who simply pays the ticket. The main problem with paying the ticket is that you are entering a guilty plea, and you will be convicted or adjudicated guilty of the offense and points are accessed.

Additionally, you are essentially admitting guilt which can be detrimental should the other party decide to sue your or attempt to claim injuries and/or assert your liability from the accident in a separate civil lawsuit.
