Traffic Infractions We Can Help Defend You Against

The three categories we highlighted above comprise a wide range of traffic violations, some misdemeanors and some felony ones, for which you may have received a citation. The following are some examples of each type that we can help defend you against:

Criminal Violations

The most recent data compiled by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) shows that our state’s law enforcement authorities issued at least 2,773,109 traffic citations in 2023. These tickets were issued for all types of reasons, which the FLHSMV breaks down into three primary categories: criminal, non-criminal (moving), and non-moving infractions.

At least 340,450 citations were issued for this most serious degree of traffic offense in Florida in 2023, which includes driving violations such as:

• Driving under the influence (DUI)
• Leaving the scene of an accident
• Racing on a highway
• Violating driver’s license restrictions
• Having no, an improper, or expired license tag
• Reckless driving
• Fleeing
• Having no, an improper, or expired driver’s license

At least 33% of those charged with one of these offenses were found guilty in 2023. Other cases were resolved in varying ways, including via adjudication with a judge, but they did not always yield the most favorable outcome for the defendant in those cases.

Non-Criminal Moving Violations

At least 1,789,128 citations were issued in Florida for this reason in 2023, a category to which traffic violations such as the following belong:

• Careless driving
• Running a stop sign or red light
• Failure to yield to the right of way of others
• Improper turning, passing, backing, or lane change
• Toll violations
• Speeding in a posted zone or too fast for conditions
• Failure to stop for a school bus
• Improper child restraint
• Following too close
• Texting and driving

As for the outcomes of these cases, they varied widely by case. You don’t want to take any chances if you’re facing such charges, which is why you should consider having a traffic violations defense attorney in Fort Myers review your case to advise you on how to best respond to those charges.

Non-Moving Infractions

Florida law enforcement agencies issued at least 643,531 citations that fell into this category in 2023 for offenses such as:

• Improper parking
• Seat belt violations
• Texting and driving (those that did not fit into the moving violation category)
• No helmet use
• Expired or failure to display a driver’s license or tag
• No proof of insurance

While if convicted of these infractions, you may not face as serious of penalties as you would in the case of a conviction for some of the criminal or moving violations listed above, you will want to put up a strong defense against these charges to avoid them being recorded on your permanent driving record.

Why You Should Contact a Fort Myers Traffic Violations Defense Lawyer

We often find that many individuals who receive traffic citations think nothing of it. They assume they can just pay a fine and continue on with their lives as if nothing happened. That’s not often the case, though.

Of the different offenses listed above, criminal offenses are the most serious. Why? That’s because they can not only lead to you facing points on your license, like any of the other infractions above, but also more commonly result in a license suspension and potential revocation, serious fines, and potential jail time.

That’s not to say that the other “lesser” infractions, if you’re convicted of them, don’t have the potential to affect you. You may potentially face not only points off your license but fines for those violations, too. This could easily lead to increased auto insurance rates or loss of coverage and pose a barrier to employment for those seeking certain roles.

Thus, the message is clear: no matter what type of Florida traffic law you’re accused of violating, having an attorney to defend you is best. A Fort Myers traffic violation defense lawyer is standing by to help.

At Titan Law, our work representing you can begin as soon as after your initial strategy sessions with our attorneys. So, get in touch with us so we can discuss being your advocate.

How Our Attorneys at Titan Law Help With Your Florida Driving Citation Case

Depending on the violation you’re accused of, you may have your license immediately suspended and be arrested on charges and booked in jail. You may also have your vehicle impounded. Alternatively, you may be given a citation and be allowed to go home, and have to make a later appearance in front of a judge.

Know that, whatever the process involved in your case, any Fort Myers traffic violation defense lawyer in our office can help you. This advocacy work includes:

• Representing you in court at an arraignment, at pre-trial hearings, etc.
• Negotiating a plea deal with prosecutors to lessen potential sentences in exchange for a guilty verdict on lesser charges
• Aiding you in filing the necessary paperwork to secure provisional driving privileges (such as to go to school or work) and to restore your license after suspension

The above are just a few examples of ways in which getting a traffic violation defense attorney in Fort Myers involved in your case can potentially yield a different outcome from what it otherwise would if you handled matters on your own.
