Not always. According to NJSA 39:4-97, where a careless driving ticket is issued where there has been no accident or personal injury, the fine may be paid at the Violations Bureau by pleading guilty. If there has been an accident or injury, an appearance is mandatory. The ticket given at the scene will have a box marked "Court Appearance Required" or similar language to let you know if you have to go to court or not.

If you get your first ticket for careless driving can you appeal it or take a driving course to get the points erased?
You can always appeal to the District Attorney. It is up to him/her to grant the appeal and the terms of the appeal. It never hurts to ask.
How many points do you get on your license for careless driving and if found guilty will your license be taken?
you will get 3 points and no your license can not be taken just for that It depends on which state you live in. In some US states, careless driving is an automatic license suspension, plus a fine and maybe, jail time. Depends on the situation and the Judge's attitude towards bad drivers. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS GETTING THE "CARELESS" AND THE "RECKLESS" DRIVING CONFUSED.IF IT'S "CARELESS DRIVING" NO POINTS SHOULD BE ADDED. SOMETIMES A COP WILL ISSUE IT THAT WAY SO THE STATE GETS SOME MONEY BUT HE'S HELPING YOU OUT. IT'S USUALLY JUST A FINE YOU HAVE TO PAY. I HAVE 2 CARELESS DRIVING TICKETS MYSELF AND THE ONE COP EXPLAINED IT TO ME THAT HE HAS THE RIGHT TO LESSEN A CHARGE TO CARELESS DRIVING TO HELP YOU IF HE WANTS TO. HE COULD HAVE CHARGED ME "FAILURE TO YIELD RIGHT OF WAY ON ONE OF MINE AND 4 POINTS BUT TOOK IT EASY ON ME AND JUST CHARGED THE CARELESS DRIVING $130 AND NO POINTS. MY BROTHER IS A HIGHWAY PATROLMAN SO I KNOW THIS WAS TRUE BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY CALLED HIM TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE COP GOT THERE. NOW A "RECKLESS DRIVING" CHARGE IS MUCH WORSE AND I'M NOT SURE OF THE POINTS VIOLATION IN YOUR STATE BUT IT CAN'T BE GOOD BECAUSE IT'S A MAJOR TICKET WHERE AS THE CARELESS IN A MINOR INFRACTION..
Is careless the same as reckless?
The exact difference depends upon the wording of the laws of the state involved. There is no universal definition of careless or reckless driving that covers every state in the US. In NJ, under NJSA 39"4-97, careless driving is defined as driving carelessly or without due caution and circumspection, in a manner so as to endanger, or be likely to endanger a person or property. Reckless driving under NJSA 39:4-96, is defined as driving heedlessly, in wilfull or wanton disrefard of the rights or safety of others, in a manner so as to endanger or be likely to endanger, a person or property. Reckless driving is the more severe of the two and carries the higher penalty.
