Certain traffic offenses such as illegal U turn, parking in a handicapped space without authorization are strict liability offenses. These do not require any criminal intent. The only proof required is that you committed the offense. A traffic violation committed by a moving vehicle is referred to as a moving violation while a non-moving violation is related to a vehicle that is not in motion. Generally moving violations are considered more severe and the fines are higher than for non-moving violations because of the potential for an accident or other dangers.

Most traffic crimes are infractions and the person is left of with a warning or fine. Infractions can add points to your license and once you get too many points on your driving record, or in some cases when the violations are extreme in nature, the courts or the DMV can suspend or revoke your driver’s license. However, a traffic crime becomes a misdemeanor or felony if it causes injury to a person or destruction of property, or creates a real threat of injury to a person or destruction of property. The penalties for a misdemeanor or felony traffic offense are severe and if convicted, you can be sent to prison.

Conviction for a traffic crime can result in a criminal record. A criminal record brings with it a plethora of hidden consequences. You will have to pay more for insurance. You will have problems getting a job or housing.

Never forgo legal representation when fighting a traffic crime. The consequences may be far more serious than what you might have imagined. You might loose your driver’s license. You may even be sentenced to a prison term.
