:plus-un2: I haven't read all 10 pages of this thread, but I can't figure out where all the drinking and driving talk is coming from. I'm not sure about Florida, but in Mississippi a careless/reckless driving charge and disregard for a traffic device are 2 of the most minor traffic violation charges that can be made. A few hundred dollars in fines and you don't even have to be in court. These charges are along the same lines as a speeding ticket. Further, a careless/reckless driving charge is one that requires no evidence other than the officer's statement. An officer can charge someone with reckless driving for virtually anything other than what he deems perfect driving.
