Loudoun County Traffic Violation Attorneys
Misdemeanor Traffic Violations in Virginia
Traffic violations include any of a number of offenses that occur on public roadways or involve motor vehicles. Depending on the severity of the violation, these may be qualified as infractions, misdemeanors or felonies. An infraction is punishable by fine only, such as in the case of a typical speeding ticket. A misdemeanor or felony traffic offense is more serious and is actually a criminal offense. This means that the defendant will face charges in criminal court and may face serious penalties as well, such as imprisonment, probation, fines and court fees, and more. A criminal traffic violation conviction will also result in a conviction on the defendant's criminal record.
