If you are found guilty of careless driving, ____ points will be added to your driving record.

Under Tennessee law, you must always exercise due care to avoid hitting a pedestrian, a vehicle, or other property. Driving in a careless manner that might endanger persons or property is considered a Class C misdemeanor, which is punishable by jail for up to 30 days, a fine of up to $50, or both. In addition, four points will be added to your driving record. (Reckless driving is defined as deliberately driving in a manner that might endanger persons or property.)
