Drunk Driving - Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Virginia has a zero tolerance policy for drunk drivers and a conviction can result in very harsh punishment. If you've never had a DUI, you might not realize that it's not a traffic violation ― it's a criminal offense. You'll be handcuffed, taken to the police station, and required to go to court. In addition, the laws surrounding drinking and driving are complex. If you decide to fight the charge, you will want to hire a lawyer to defend you.
Reckless Driving
In Virginia, reckless driving is defined as exhibiting driving behavior irrespective of the maximum speeds permitted by law, any person who drives a vehicle on any highway recklessly or at a speed or in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person shall be guilty of reckless driving. In most cases, a speeding ticket 20 miles an hour over the posted limited automatically warrants an associated reckless driving charge. Every person convicted of reckless driving under the provisions of this law is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. You can be jailed for up to one year, fined $2500.00, and lose your driving privileges for up to six months with a reckless driving conviction.
Suspended License Representation
Like DUI, driving when your license has been suspended in Virginia can carry stiff penalties. The Commonwealth of Virginia imposes a fine, jail time and additional time added to the suspension for this Class One misdemeanor. The original offense that caused the suspension is not taken into consideration when a driver operates a motor vehicle with a suspended license. Suspension reinstatement procedures differ according to the reason for the suspension. Generally, though, you must wait out the length of your suspension, and then pay the required fines and fees to have your license reinstated. But, sometimes other steps must be taken. You should definitely hire an attorney to help you navigate the process. There are many lines of defense available to an experienced traffic lawyer.
