You Could Face Steep Penalties if Convicted of a Traffic Crime in Upper Gwynedd

If you are found guilty of a traffic crime, you could face misdemeanor or felony charges. A crime that may have been a misdemeanor could become a felony if another party suffered an injury. Some examples of felony traffic crimes include: 

• Vehicular homicide, which could result in a third-degree felony charge per 75 Pa. C.S.A § 3732.
• Vehicular homicide while under the influence, which could result in a first-degree felony charge per 75 Pa. C.S.A § 3735.
• Causing an accident that injures another person could result in third-degree felony charges, per 75 Pa. C.S.A § 3742. 

Not only could you face jail time, but you may also have to pay hefty fines if you are charged with a felony offense. Our team can fight to help you avoid these consequences. 

You Could Lose Your Driver’s License for Committing Certain Traffic Crimes

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), certain traffic offenses could result in the loss or suspension of your driver’s license. These offenses include: 

• Any felony offense involving a vehicle 
• Driving without lights to avoid being identified by the police 
• Fleeing the police 
• Reckless driving 
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

If you are going to lose your driving privileges, a written notice will be mailed to you. Then, you must return your driver’s license to the Bureau of Driver Licensing. If you connect with us quickly, we may be able to help you avoid returning your license. 

Defenses We Can Use as We Build Your Upper Gwynedd Traffic Crime Case

When we build your case, we can use defenses to argue that you should not be convicted of a traffic crime. Some examples of the defenses we may use in your case include: 

• Lack of probable cause: The arresting officer did not have a valid reason to pull you over, search your vehicle, or arrest you.
• Lack of reasonable suspicion: You did not do anything to make the officer think you should be pulled over or searched.
• Faulty Breathalyzer results: The machine used to test your blood alcohol content (BAC) did not work properly. 
• False reports: A witness lied about your condition when you were pulled over. 
• No Miranda rights read: The arresting officer failed to inform you of your rights. 

Your criminal defense lawyer will analyze all the details of your case to ensure they are creating a defense strategy that makes sense for you.
