This section is included in your selections.

A. It is unlawful for any person to operate a motor vehicle in an inattentive manner over the highways of the City.

B. For the purpose of this section, “inattentive” means the operation of a vehicle upon the public highways of the City in a lax, slack or careless manner likely to cause an accident. Operation of a vehicle in a lax, slack or careless manner may be evidenced by activity which would have been avoidable but for the driver’s divided attention, that does not necessarily rise to the level of negligent driving, but which endangers or is likely to endanger any person or property.

C. A violation of this section shall be a traffic infraction punishable by a base monetary penalty of $37.00 plus assessments with an increase to $62.00 plus assessments if an accident occurs as a result of the underlying infraction pursuant to IRLJ 6.2d. [Ord. 409 § 1, 2006.]
