Traffic law is one of the simplest ways to get called into court. Usually, brushes with traffic law will catch you red-handed: because traffic law is a “strict liability” law, any discussion of “criminal intent” is beside the point.
A traffic camera or police radar is usually sufficient enough to find you guilty of moving violations like speeding. The most common moving violations are speeding offenses, driving without working head or taillights (a “correctable violation”), or improper lane changing.
If you have been convicted of one of these traffic violations in Illinois, you will have to submit to routine examinations every 8 years to make sure you aren’t a hazard to other drivers on the open road. Simple enough, but you still may require a traffic lawyer to help defend you. The attorneys at Daniels, Long & Pinsel, LLC, have built a strong reputation as aggressive negotiators who can minimize your penalty, so you won’t have to worry about losing the driving privileges you depend on.
Driving Without A Revoked License, No License, or Lack of Insurance or Registration.
Illinois requires all drivers to have auto insurance—failure to do so can result in a confiscated license. 500,000 drivers in Illinois have lost their driving privileges—when and if they get behind the wheel, they can face imprisonment up to 364 days or a $2,500 fine. Our traffic law attorneys encourage all of our drivers to practice sensible judgment. You can avoid a Class A misdemeanor by having the proper registration and insurance; if you’ve already been taken to the police station and were fingerprinted for driving without a license, you know it’s no joke. Multiple offenses can be a felony offense: our traffic law attorneys can prevent any possibility of that by expunging these misdemeanors from your record.
Vehicular Manslaughter, Reckless Endangerment & More—Serious Traffic Law Offenses that Require Serious Representation
If you were driving responsibly, within the designated speed limit, you hit a civilian as opposed to a police officer or other public servant, and you were not under the influence of drugs or alcohol when your vehicle killed someone, then you can evade any serious felony manslaughter charges. However, if you were speeding, intoxicated, etc., the odds are stacked against you. What’s more, you will be a prime target of the victim’s family for a civil lawsuit that could render you bankrupt. Thankfully, DLP lawyers have extensive experience defending drivers who have been involved in vehicular tragedies.
