It is important to be careful and take necessary precautions to avoid being careless. Different laws have different interpretations of careless, such as careless driving, careless operation of a vessel, or careless use of explosives.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: “Careless” means not showing or taking enough care and attention, which can lead to negligence or failure to act with necessary prudence. The word careless is used to determine a standard of conduct under various branches of law. The meaning of careless remains the same universally, but there may be differences in statutory interpretation of the word across jurisdictions.

  • Careless driving: A person who drives a vehicle carelessly, or without due caution and circumspection, in a manner so as to endanger, or be likely to endanger, a person or property, shall be guilty of careless driving. For example, if a driver is texting while driving and causes an accident, they could be charged with careless driving.
  • Careless operation of vessel: A person who operates a vessel on the waters of this State, without due caution and circumspection, in a manner that endangers, or is likely to endanger, a person or property shall be guilty of careless operation.

  • Careless use of explosives: No person shall store, handle, dispose, transport, transfer, load, unload, or use explosives or blasting agents in a careless or imprudent manner without regard for the hazards or circumstances in which the explosives or blasting agents are being stored, handled, disposed, transported, transferred, loaded, unloaded, or used. For example, if a person is using explosives without proper training or safety precautions, they could be charged with careless use of explosives.

These examples illustrate how careless behavior can lead to dangerous situations and harm to people or property. It is important to act with caution and prudence to avoid being charged with careless behavior.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
I don't really know where I want to end up practicing yet, but I've enjoyed living in the midwest so far. I think I might ultimately like to end up as in-house corporate for the work life balance.

I lived in Bloomington for a long time, can't speak to the law school but can answer Qs about the city if you'd like
@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: How do you think it is to live in as a 20-something going to grad school? The comparison is Iowa city, so not an extremely high bar for liveliness. (No offense intended towards IC. I think it's a lovely place)

If you're outdoorsy, it's nice--obv no coasts or mountains, but two small lakes really close, lots of places you can go on a lowkey hike or camp without paying park fees or anything really
