Careless driving refers to operating a vehicle without paying enough attention which can lead to accidents or unsafe situations. This can include actions like not keeping a proper distance from other vehicles, failing to signal, or being distracted by things like a phone or other activities. It is considered an offense because it endangers others on the road. Penalties for careless driving can include fines, points on a driving record, and, in more serious cases, license suspension.
