General Traffic Law Questions
FAQs
Petty offenses, misdemeanors and felonies - what class am I in?
What should I do after being given a traffic ticket?
What is traffic school? Would traffic school reduce my fine? Or the points on my license?
What are ‘points’ and how do they affect my driving ‘privilege?’
Why do insurance companies raise the premium for having points on your record?
I received a DUI while living in one state did not take care of the violation. Then I moved to another state. Is there a statute of limitations? If not, what is my best option?
I have been charged with careless driving and failure to notify a police officer of an accident, simply because a witness claimed I was responsible. The witness claimed that my small economy car allegedly tore a bumper off a 4-runner, with no damage to my car. I'm not responsible. Isn't the lack of physical damage to my vehicle stronger than the witness's story?
What is a traffic ticket?
Why is a traffic ticket treated differently than a civil matter by the court?
What could happen if a police officer wanted me to sign a traffic ticket and I refused?
Does a speeding motorist have the right to see the radar gun?
I lost my case in traffic court in virginia, paid $350 of the $500 fine, lost my job, moved to another state, became employed, and now want to clear up my prior record. Because I failed to pay the balance of my ticket, a bench warrant was issued in virginia against me. What can I now do to clean up my record?
Who has access to my driving record and how long do violations stay on your driving record?
Insurance Company
FAQs
Why do insurance companies raise the premium for having points on your record?
Speeding
FAQs
Does a speeding motorist have the right to see the radar gun?
Can a police officer search me if I am a passenger in a car that has been stopped for speeding?
DUI
FAQs
I took some codeine cough syrup, and then got arrested for drunk driving. The blood test showed the codeine, but the alcohol level was not a problem. They still charged me with driving under the influence. Should I fight it?
If I was stopped for another traffic violation, can the police also arrest me for a DUI or DWI?

Failure To Pay Traffic Ticket
FAQs

Points

Drug Search
FAQs
I got stopped for a busted tail light and then, without my permission, the cop searched my car and found pot in the trunk. At the hearing, he said he knew I had drugs because he saw seeds on the floor and they were in "plain view", but the drugs in the trunk weren’t. Can a lawyer get the drugs excluded from evidence as illegally seized?
I borrowed my friend’s car and got stopped by the police who asked if they could search. I said yes because I don't do anything illegal. They found some methamphetamine in the glove compartment, but it wasn’t mine. The cops said to "tell it to the judge." I guess I was "in possession" but I don’t feel like I committed any crime. Should I take the prosecutor’s offer for probation and no jail?
