Riverside Traffic Violation Lawyer

Attorney Handling Traffic Offenses in San Bernardino & Riverside

Any crime that violates state or federal motor vehicle laws is considered a traffic violation. Traffic violations range from less severe offenses, such as a failure to signal, to very severe offenses such as driving under the influence. Traffic violations can be prosecuted by jurisdiction laws and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Certain crimes, like drunk driving, can lead to drivers license suspension or revocation by the DMV. Traffic violations can also affect a person’s insurance premiums.

Common traffic violations include: driving under the influence (DUI), reckless driving, driving while suspended, vehicular manslaughter, and speeding. Traffic violations can be categorized as misdemeanors or felonies. Classification depends upon the type of violation and any damages that resulted from the violation. The majority of traffic violations tend to be classified as misdemeanors. If you disobey any traffic law, you can be charged with a traffic violation by law enforcement.

If convicted of a traffic violation, a person can face legal penalties such as monetary fines, license suspension or revocation, imprisonment, probation, and community service. If a person is convicted of driving under the influence, they may have to attend a court ordered drug and alcohol abuse program.
