The distinction between the two offences can often be marginal. The prosecution may be persuaded to accept a plea to careless driving and not to pursue the more serious offence of dangerous driving. You legal representative will be best placed to make an assessment of your case and make representations to the prosecution on your behalf. The maximum sentence for careless driving is a fine plus between 3 and 9 penalty points.
