      Reckless Driving

      Reckless driving is a serious offense that involves operating a vehicle with willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property. This can include behaviors such as excessive speeding, aggressive lane changes, and running red lights. Reckless driving is more than just a traffic violation; it is considered a criminal offense and can lead to severe consequences, including hefty fines, license suspension, and even jail time. Understanding what constitutes reckless driving is crucial for avoiding such severe penalties.

      Suspended License

      A suspended license means that your driving privileges have been temporarily withdrawn by the authorities. Common reasons for suspension include accumulating too many points on your license, DUI convictions, or failure to pay fines. Driving with a suspended license can lead to further legal complications and severe penalties, including extended suspension periods, additional fines, and even jail time. It’s crucial to understand the specific terms of your suspension and the steps required to reinstate your license legally.

      Speeding

      Speeding occurs when a driver exceeds the posted speed limit or drives too fast for road conditions. This violation is common but can lead to significant penalties, including fines, points on your license, and increased insurance rates. Speed limits are set to ensure the safety of all road users, and exceeding these limits can result in dangerous driving conditions. Addressing speeding tickets promptly is important to prevent escalation of penalties and impact on your driving record.

      Speeding (+15 Over)

      Speeding more than 15 miles per hour over the limit is considered a more severe offense and often results in higher fines and points on your license. Typically, this can result in 4 to 6 points on your driving record, making it harder to remove these points and potentially leading to higher insurance rates. Our attorneys specialize in defending against these serious speeding charges, leveraging their knowledge of traffic laws and legal precedents. We work diligently to achieve the best possible outcome, whether it’s reducing the charges or negotiating alternative penalties.

      Hit and Run

      Hit and run offenses involve leaving the scene of an accident without providing contact information or rendering aid. This can include incidents involving another vehicle, a pedestrian, or even a fixed object or parked car. There are different kinds of hit and runs, ranging from minor property damage to severe accidents involving injuries. These offenses carry harsh penalties, including significant fines and imprisonment. It’s essential to address any hit and run charges promptly to mitigate the legal consequences.

      Following Too Closely

      Following too closely, or tailgating, occurs when a driver fails to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. This behavior is a common cause of rear-end collisions and can result in traffic violations. In Savannah, following too closely can lead to fines, points on your driving record, and increased insurance premiums. Maintaining an adequate following distance is crucial for road safety and helps prevent accidents and legal issues related to tailgating.
