Answer

A class b misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of up to $2,000, confinement i jail for up to 180 days, or a maximum probationary period for up to 24 months. The exact outcome in your particular case depends on the specific facts, and more specifically, the severity of the accident and if any third party was injured.
