Misdemeanor Traffic Offenses

Misdemeanor traffic offenses are much more serious than traffic infractions. Infractions such as tailgating, speeding and passing a red light or stop sign will result in fines and points on your record, but rarely result in jail time. Misdemeanor traffic offenses can result in fines and even jail time, but more importantly, can leave you with a permanent criminal record.

These types of traffic related misdemeanors can carry very high fines, surcharges, driver responsibility assessments, points on your license and/or suspension or revocation of your license, and even probation or jail. Some traffic misdemeanors require the Court, if you are convicted to sentence you to probation or jail.

Sometimes conviction for these traffic misdemeanors may form a basis to upgrade a subsequent offense to a felony.

If you plead guilty to a misdemeanor traffic misdemeanor or felony, you may have a permanent criminal record. In addition, the court will not deliberate much about the penalties.
