Types of Traffic Violations in Michigan

In Michigan, traffic violations can be classified as civil infractions, misdemeanors, or felonies. The charge you face will depend on the circumstances of the incident.

Examples of traffic violations include:

• Speeding
• Careless driving
• Reckless driving
• Having an open container of alcohol in the vehicle
• Drag racing
• Eluding a police officer
• Hit and run
• Manslaughter

If you are charged with a traffic violation, you could be facing steep fines, points on your license, increased car insurance premiums, and license suspension or revocation. Many minor moving violations – like speeding a few miles per hour over the speed limit or driving carelessly – are civil infractions, which are not penalized with jail time but can lead to fines and points on your license. But if you commit a serious crime on the road – like fleeing the scene of an accident or eluding a police officer – you could face jail time and a critical criminal record.

How I Can Help

Many people fail to fight minor traffic tickets because they’d rather just pay the fine and move on. What you should know, however, is that points have been added to your license – and any points added in the future will add up and could lead to more severe penalties. Your driving privileges could be at risk and your insurance premiums could skyrocket.

No matter the severity of your situation, I urge you to contact me for a free consultation. I can review your case and determine if your ticket is worth fighting. I can also build an aggressive defense if you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges. As a skilled traffic crime defense attorney in Northern Michigan, I am prepared to handle your case effectively from start to finish.
