How Can Careless Driving Charges Be Contested?

The definition of “careless driving” can be arguably subjective, and officers eager to meet quotas may slap unmerited charges on drivers who have been driving with care and attention. With winding rural roads, narrow passes in the mountains, and heavy traffic in Denver, it can be easy to find yourself facing such charges. 

Christina Zorrilla and Jim Zorrilla can examine evidence such as dashcam footage, witness statements, and inconsistencies in the police report to bolster your case. They can also work to prove that your driving was not careless but was, in fact, appropriate for road conditions at the time you were stopped. In other cases, they may be able to demonstrate that another party, not yourself, was guilty of careless driving.
