[RM7]

Careless (or reckless) is extremely hard to prove in court as a stand-alone with no associated accident. It's easy to write on a ticket and hope the person submits/pleads, but unless there's an associated accident or obviously egregious situation that caused destruction/harm, one person's "careless" is another persons "in control/normal", because it's simply opinion. Sometimes in these cases they'd have an "expert" come in and try to explain why a certain behavior is careless/reckless, but again, without an associated event like an accident, it usually falls apart pretty bad.
