Road Rage, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, Driving while License is Suspended or Revoked, Reckless Driving
Some traffic violations are considered criminal acts. "Road rage" drivers can be charged with aggressive careless driving, a criminal offense. Other criminal traffic violations may include: leaving the scene of an accident; driving while license is suspended or revoked; reckless driving; racing on a highway; vehicular battery; vehicular manslaughter; and vehicular homicide.
Consequences of Criminal Traffic Violations
If a traffic violation is charged as a criminal offense, rather than a civil infraction, you may decide to seek legal counsel to preserve your rights. Criminal traffic violations can result in the loss of your license to drive and cancellation of your auto insurance. Both of these consequences will obviously affect your daily life and can definitely interfere with your earning potential. More serious offenses can result in jail time.
Answerable to Both Criminal Court and the Division of Motor Vehicles
It is important to understand that a traffic violation can have a criminal court component as well as a Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) component. Anyone charged in criminal court will also be responsible for paying fines to the DMV and presenting evidence of completion of court-ordered conditions to the DMV to preserve driving privileges or to have a driver's license reinstated. Failure to pay fines or late payment of fines often results in license revocation. If a person continues to drive when a driving license has been suspended or revoked, he or she may be classified as a habitual traffic offender. Habitual offenders can be charged as traffic felons and can face lengthy incarceration.
