IMO I don't think most agree? But, from pass experiences I for one know careless driving can be add on to any traffic violation? Example was I was coasting down mountain in AZ. Just happen to be crossing Indian reservation (US60 heading down in little Grand Canyon). I didn't want to burn my brakes out so I would coast, brake and coast on straight road in middle if nowhere with no traffic. LEO Popped around corner about 1/2 mile and caught me above the speed limit. I got speeding ticket, careless driving ticket, and abuse of natural resources. I asked what's the abuse charge? His said speeding. I said I was coasting and not with my foot on the gas pedal? He said its automatic with speeding ticket along with the careless driving? Luckily I could plea guilty and mail the ticket and money in.
