What You Need To Know About The Potential Consequences Of A Traffic Violation
Here are some things you should understand about traffic offenses and related legal consequences.
Civil Tickets
- These relatively common traffic infractions can result in a fine and points on your license.
- Some examples include speeding (20 mph or less over the speed limit), running a red light or stop sign, careless driving and failure to yield.
- Accumulating points can result in the suspension of your license.
The benefits of using an experienced traffic offense attorney are to eliminate or reduce points and fines and possibly the need to take defensive driving classes.
Criminal Charges
- These charges can result from a simple traffic stop but can have serious consequences including jail time. For example, it may be discovered during a traffic stop for a minor offense that you have a suspended license or the wrong tag on your car. Even not wearing glasses if your license indicates this restriction can result in 60 days in jail.
In these cases you need legal representation. Talk to an experienced traffic offense lawyer in Pasco County.
Felony Charges
- These are cases where a routine traffic offense can lead to the discovery of illegal weapons, drugs or other evidence. Even if the material is not yours you may still be charged with a felony.
- Felonies can lead to jail time and a ruined reputation among other serious consequences.
In these cases you need an attorney with experience in traffic offenses, laws relating to search and seizure and courtroom defense. I am highly experienced in all of these areas.
