    Inattentive driving shall be considered a lesser offense than careless driving and shall be applicable in those circumstances where the conduct of the operator of the vehicle has been inattentive in light of the circumstances then existing, rather than careless or imprudent or in those cases where the danger to persons or property by the motor vehicle operator's conduct is slight.
