    Arrow Careless Driving In Minnesota

    My question involves a careless driving ticket from the State of: Minnesota

    Ok, I'm age 16. I got two tickets today, making it my third in under a year. I got one six months ago, a simple speeding citation. The two today I acquired was a "failure to stop at a stop sign" and a "careless driving ticket". I go to court in a couple of weeks. First, could I get my license taken away? Second, I know the stop sign one is $132, but I couldn't find how much the careless driving ticket was, I was wondering if the fine was set by the judge?

    Is the careless driving a misdemeanor? If it is, can I get that reduced to a citation if a try too?

    I don't dispute I did any of this also, I know I'm a bad driver it just caught up to me. Just sucks because I have a minimum wage job and am going to college in the fall. So I would like to keep my license and get the smallest fine I can.

    Thanks in advance for answers!

    Read this and this.
    Quote Quoting Minnesota Statutes, Sec. 169.13
    Careless driving. Any person who operates or halts any vehicle upon any street or highway carelessly or heedlessly in disregard of the rights of others, or in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger any property or any person, including the driver or passengers of the vehicle, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
    I suggest getting a lawyer.

    Well, I talked to a lawyer. When I go there for my court date, because I got the ticket as a minor, I can most likely get the careless driving ticket reduced to something much smaller or even expunged in exchange for community service ect... If that doesn't work I would have to hire a lawyer, thats a $950 flat fee though, being that those tickets wouldn't even come to that, I probably wouldn't hire one anyways. So the best thing I can do is make a deal with the county attorney.
