To get careless driving off of your record, your best bet is to
hire a lawyer
who specializes in traffic court. The process to get a charge like this expunged (aka removed) is different in every state, so having a knowledgeable lawyer on your side can help you a lot.In some states, careless driving will be automatically expunged after you have completed the penalties and a certain amount of time has passed. It can take anywhere from three to 10 years. To learn more about the laws in your state, contact your local courthouse.
It’s difficult to find good insurance rates after a careless driving conviction. Luckily,
