Criminal traffic violations are more serious than your typical moving violation – critically, they carry much more significant charges. If you commit a moving violation such as running a red light, you can be fined and lose points on your license. However, if you commit a criminal traffic offense, you can be arrested. Criminal traffic violations include hit and runs, driving with a suspended license, and reckless driving involving death or serious bodily injury. Protect yourself from the worst-case scenario.
What Are The Penalties For Criminal Traffic Violations?
Penalties for traffic crimes depend on the nature of the violation. In most cases, criminal traffic violations are prosecuted as misdemeanors. In some cases, however, they can be charged as felony crimes, leading to severe punishments. For example, third-offense DUI and vehicular homicide are generally considered felonies. Protect your future and keep your record clean.
Criminal traffic violations almost always come with increased fines. Depending on the severity of your offense, you may risk jail time if you don’t have a robust defense plan.
