The Effects of Traffic Violations
Traffic violations can have significant consequences for defendants, both immediate and long-term.

These penalties can disrupt daily life, making it difficult to get to work, school, or other important commitments.
In some cases, serious traffic violations like DUI/DWI or reckless driving can result in criminal charges, leading to fines, probation, community service, and even jail time. The social stigma and embarrassment of a criminal conviction can also have a lasting impact on personal and professional relationships, affecting job prospects and opportunities for advancement.
