Driving Violations

Saint Lucie County Driving Violations Lawyer

Help from a Saint Lucie County Driving Violations Lawyer

Although the most common arrests are for DUI, there are many non-alcohol related driving regulations that have been “criminalized” by the Florida Legislature, including Driving While License Suspended or Revoked;  Willful and Wanton Reckless Driving; possession of an expired driver’s license;   possession of more than one driver’s license—— the list goes on seemingly endlessly.   To see some of them, take a peek at Chs. 316 and322, Fla. Stat.  And the penalties can be rigidly draconian.  For example, if you have, in your lifetime, been convicted more than once for driving on a suspended license, the next prosecution may be pursued as a 3rd degree felony!  This means that a citizen can be imprisoned for five (5) years in the state penitentiary for an essentially ‘administrative’ violation.
