TRAFFIC LAW  OVERVIEW

Statistics show that almost all Americans have been or will be stopped at least once in their lives for a traffic law violation. The fact that they are common however does not mean that these matters should be regarded casually.

Traffic law violations are divided into three categories

  • felonies,
  • misdemeanors,
  • and infractions or violations

with the lesser offenses handled in a more informal matter.
Even these low-level offenses, however, should not be viewed lightly, as they can result in

  • missed work,
  • significant fines,
  • loss of driving privileges,
  • and increased insurance rates.

Almost every traffic violation becomes a misdemeanor or felony if it involves injury to a person or destruction of property.

 

Convictions of these offenses can result in significant jail or prison time, especially for repeat offenders.

Because you have been charged with a traffic offense does not mean that you are necessarily guilty or will automatically be convicted. Evidence against you can be, in many instances, challenged and defeated.
