Is is a receivable argument in a US court ? Or does it just influence a jury ?

Where I live in Canada, there's careless driving and dangerous driving. Dangerous driving is in the criminal code. Careless driving is a citation akin to speeding.

I've seen courts grant an exception from a license suspension, for normal (but a suspendable amount of) citations such as speeding or something of that ilk.

Those drivers licenses have special wording on them, that indicate the person may only drive to and from work, and often has the address the person has to drive to and from.

However I've also seen contractors allowed to drive to and from job sites, and directly home.

This is in a province of Canada, and dangerous driving or alcohol use, would invalidate that ability to get an exception.

This driver with the Waymo sounds like dangerous driving.

Unclear if in this US State the situation is similar.
