The increase in your car insurance premium due to careless driving can vary widely based on factors such as your insurer, your driving history, and your location. On average, a careless driving violation can lead to a premium increase of 20% to 50%.

Ultimately, it poses significant risks to public safety and can have lasting impacts on those involved.
