Have a traffic ticket and need to take driver improvement?
Take a look at our DMV-approved driving course.
In Virginia, traffic violations are largely divided between moving and non-moving violations. Non-moving violations occurs when a traffic law has been violated that is unrelated to the car being in motion. Generally, these violations include those related to parking, safety violations, or expired registration. Non-moving violations usually carry a fine and will not put demerit points on your driving record.
On the other hand, moving violations are traffic offenses that most commonly include speeding, improper passing, reckless driving and more. These violations carry different punishments. For instance, a simple speeding ticket might bring a fine and 3 demerit points. However, if charged with reckless driving, you could be facing jail time, a fine, and demerit points.
In conclusion, non-moving violations are usually offenses that you will just want to pay the fine instead of hiring an attorney and acquiring court fees. However, if you are facing a more serious moving violation, consider contacting Driving Defense Law so we can discuss with you a gameplan regarding your offense.
