Legal Answers
1 Questions Answered
- Q. Careless driving, doing 106 on a 55 zone what could happen?
- A: While jail is a possibility with a careless driving charge in New Mexico - (up to 9 days and up to a $300 fine) it is very very unlikely. Quite simply, the jails in our state are overcrowded and expensive to run, the last thing most judges want to do is put the mother of a two-year old in jail. You should try to put the worry of jail behind you and consider the realistic results. A conviction for careless driving will put 3 points on your New Mexico Drivers License, and will likely result in higher insurance rates. There are ways to avoid this - you many want to seek legal counsel, or if you cannot afford a lawyer request the appointment of a public defender. In the end, there is an excellent chance that you can keep this charge off your driving record.
