OPINION
SHORT, Judge.
On appeal from a petty misdemeanor conviction for careless driving, Jennifer Caswell argues: (1) the evidence is insufficient to support her conviction; (2) the trial court violated the rule prohibiting amendments to complaints once trial has commenced; (3) the prosecutor acted improperly by tab charging additional offenses in violation of this rule and as punishment for her decision to proceed to trial; (4) she was denied her right to a formal complaint on the new charges; and (5) she was denied effective assistance of counsel as the result of the late charging procedure.
