--- THE CHARGE EXPLAINED

WHAT CARELESS DRIVING ACTUALLY MEANS

It's section 115(2)(b) of the Traffic Safety Act: driving without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other people using the road.

1. Collision Fault

Being at fault in a collision, sometimes almost automatically.

2. Following Too Closely

Rear-end incidents or tailgating assertions.

3. Poor Weather Loss of Control

Losing control on ice or winter slush.

4. Vehicle Distraction

Being distracted by something inside the vehicle.

5. Unsafe Merge / Lane Change

Changing lanes in a manner deemed unsafe.

6. Failing to Yield

Failing to yield in a way the officer considered egregious.

--- WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

HOW THE TRAFFIC TICKET GURU HELPS.

1. Visual Observation Scrutiny

We test the observation itself — what the officer could genuinely see from a moving vehicle, at that distance, in that light.

2. Hands-Free Exemption Review

Alberta law permits hands-free device use activated by voice or a single touch. Earphones and mounts are fine if used hands-free.

3. Crown Prosecutor Discussions

Former traffic prosecutors conduct resolution discussions to challenge whether the Crown can prove actual manual device operation.

4. You Stay Out of Court

In most cases you never see the inside of a courtroom. We handle all court deadlines, appearances, and filings on your behalf.
