Delaware Traffic Offenses

Traffic Violations are divided into 2 categories in the State of Delaware. The first category is non-incarcerable offenses meaning they are not punishable by a jail sentence. Moving violations such as speeding is an example of a non-incarcerable offense. Conversely, Vehicular Manslaughter is an incarcerable offense and these can result in jail time. A 2nd or 3rd DUI is also an example of an incarcerable offense.

You are required to appear in court if you are charged or accused of a serious traffic offense. This is true even in the event you are going to plead guilty. Failing to appear may result in a warrant for your arrest. Consequences regarding major traffic offenses may include being sentenced to jail, fines and restricted driving privileges. In addition your insurance carrier may use a traffic violation conviction as as justification for increasing your premiums or canceling your policy. The Law Office of Brian J. Chapman has extensive experience handling all types of major traffic offenses.

The State of Delaware uses a point system when monitoring traffic violations, even if they are minor offenses. If the offense is minor and could not result in jail time you can pay the assessed fine and not show up to court. It is also the same as admitting you are guilty of the offense. It is also important to bear in mind that ignoring a violation totally could result in a suspension of your license. If you are caught driving while your license is suspended that is punishable by jail, additional fines and points. Wilmington, Delaware Traffic Violation Lawyer Brian J.
