Although many traffic offenses may not carry the same stigma
and penalties as other, more serious crimes, even the
lower-level offenses can result in significant fines, loss
of driving privileges, and increased insurance rates. And
the more serious offenses, or even some less serious
violations if they are part of a series of violations by the
same offender, can result in imprisonment. Thus, traffic
charges should not be taken lightly. An attorney can explain
the possible consequences of the various violations and
represent those charged with traffic offenses throughout the
resolution of the matter, taking some of the mystery out of
the process and increasing the chances of the least serious
outcome.
Traffic Infractions or Violations
In most states, no particular criminal intent is required to
convict a person of a minor traffic offense. This concept is
sometimes referred to as strict liability. The only
proof needed is evidence that the person charged actually
committed the prohibited act. For example, if there is
reliable evidence of speeding, it need not also be proven
that the driver intended to exceed the speed limit; it
rarely matters for liability purposes if the
speeding was inadvertent or purposeful. Strict-liability
traffic offenses typically include such violations as
failure to use turn signals, failure to yield, turning into
the wrong lane, driving a car with burned-out headlights,
failure to use towbars when towing another vehicle, parking
next to a yellow curb, parking in a handicap spot without
the required permit, overdue parking meters, and exceeding
the speed limit.
Traffic Misdemeanors and Felonies
Almost every traffic violation becomes a misdemeanor or
felony if it involves injury to a person or destruction of
property. A person who changes lanes without signaling and
hits another car can be charged with the misdemeanor crime
of reckless driving or even vehicular homicide if the
lane-changer was attempting to inflict serious bodily injury
and the other driver is killed. In addition, some traffic
offenses are legally defined as misdemeanors or felonies,
such as driving with a revoked license and leaving the scene
of an accident. A person accused of these more serious
traffic offenses is entitled to all criminal procedures,
including the right to a court-appointed attorney and a jury
trial.
Conclusion
The primary purpose of traffic-violation laws and
regulations is to deter unsafe driving and to educate and
reform bad drivers. Even good drivers, however, for whom
safety is a priority, can be charged with a traffic
violation. If you or someone you know has been charged with
breaking a traffic law, a criminal defense attorney with
experience in handling traffic violations can explain the
procedures and possible penalties that await you, and can
work with you to ensure the best possible outcome.
