Motor Vehicle Offenses
Motor vehicle offenses – or traffic offenses – are crimes involving a motor vehicle. Motor vehicle offenses can range anywhere from minor offenses to the most serious of crimes.
Motor vehicle offenses include:
- Traffic violations
- Suspended license
- Joyriding
- Hit and run
- Carjacking
- Vehicle manslaughter
- Homicide by way of motor vehicle
- Drunk driving
Every state has their own laws regarding motor vehicle offenses, and the state’s motor vehicle department plays an integral role in punishing offenders of these motor vehicle laws.
Once someone has been charged with a motor vehicle offense, there can be a rippling effect on their life. Not only may there be fines to be paid, or time to serve, but insurance companies have access to the state’s department records for motor vehicle offenses. Insurance companies may add “points” to one’s driving record if they are charged with a motor vehicle offense, which may lead to driving penalties or even the loss of driving privileges.
