Virginia Traffic Violations Law
Northern Virginia Traffic Tickets Attorney
There are many times when an individual may just choose to pay a fine rather than fight a ticket in traffic court. However, even minor traffic violations add up, and lead to points being charged to your driving record, which can increase your insurance premiums. In other instances, a more serious traffic offense such as reckless driving can result in not only increased insurance rates, but also a suspended license. Traffic violations may seem minor, but they can affect your ability to drive, your ability to get insurance, and in some cases, your freedom itself.
Mr. Hicks is a Springfield Virginia attorney that handles traffic violations including:
- Driving Too Fast For Weather / Traffic Conditions
- Driving With A Revoked License
- Driving With A Suspended License
- Failure To Yield
- Failure To Stop
- Hit And Run
- Reckless Driving
- Speeding In Excess Of Posted Limits
Traffic violations may involve both a traffic court charge, and an administrative procedure with the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). A reckless driving offense will typically be handled in traffic court. Driving with a suspended or revoked license would be prosecuted in traffic court, and have a DMV element as well. The same incident may escalate into criminal court if an individual was driving while his or her license was suspended, and the suspension was because of a DWI conviction. In that instance, a new conviction for the traffic violation would carry a mandatory sentence of one year in prison.
The law offices of B.R. Hicks will seek to get a license reinstatement if you have a suspended license or revoked license, and will defend any other traffic violations.
If you live in Northern Virginia, including Arlington or Alexandria, and are in need of a suspended license attorney or legal advice regarding a revoked license, reckless driving or any other traffic violation, please call or contact traffic violations lawyer Bill Hicks to schedule an appointment.
