San Jose Traffic Violations Attorney

Criminal Law Expert

Traffic violations are very common offenses in California, particularly due to the vast number of motorists driving on congested streets and freeways. Traffic violations exist and are enforced to discourage unsafe driving and to educate and reform bad drivers. Most traffic violation tickets are issued for traffic offenses called infractions, which are typically minor and may only involve the payment of a ticket. However, a traffic violation may be classified as a misdemeanor or even a felony, particularly when the offense involves injury to a person or destruction of property and the driver leaves the scene of the accident (often referred to as a “hit and run”.) 

Some examples of traffic violations are: 

• Reckless driving
• Drunk driving (DUI)
• Traffic tickets
• Speeding
• Drag racing
• Road racing
• Moving violations
• Hit and run
• Failure to stop for a police officer
• Vehicular manslaughter
• Vehicular homicide
• Assault with a deadly weapon (vehicle)
