NEGLIGENT DRIVING IN MARYLAND
Pursuant to Transportation Article 21-901.1(b), Negligent Driving is defined in Maryland as:
“A person is guilty of negligent driving if he drives a motor vehicle in a careless or imprudent manner that endangers any property or the life or person of any individual”.
If convicted of negligent driving, one point will be assessed on your Maryland driving record, or potentially more than one point if you possess an out of state learner’s permit, provisional license, driver’s license, commercial learners permit, or a commercial driver’s license. If convicted of negligent driving that contributed to a vehicular accident, three points will be assessed on your Maryland driving record, or potentially more than three points if you possess an out of state learner’s permit, provisional license, driver’s license, commercial learners permit, or a commercial driver’s license; if the negligent driving charge is alleged to have contributed to a vehicular accident, then being convicted of this offense, or even being given a probation before judgment, may raise a prima facie case of liability in a subsequent civil suit. Defendants often assume that negligent driving requires intent, a “guilty conscious”, or a specific state of mind or deliberate action, though most judges in the state of Maryland disagree, holding that negligent driving does not require any of the above. So if you are charged with negligent driving in Maryland, whether it’s connected to a vehicular accident or not, you should hire Marylands Ticket Fighter, LLC, as there is potentially a lot that we can do for you, including, but not limited to, having a trial, potentially having the law enforcement officer and judge dismiss the charge before a trial, amending the negligent driving charge to a different offense, or otherwise working out a different pre-trial disposition. If this charge goes to trial, then Marylands Ticket Fighter, LLC, can assist in your defense, as certain testimony would have to be given proving that you drove your vehicle in such a statutorily prescribed manner that endangers the life or person of an individual, and which sometimes involves more than just speeding.
