Traffic Law

Traffic Law is the practice of defending individuals charged or cited for violations that occur while operating your vehicle. All of us have had or have known someone who has had a traffic ticket in their life. We all know how frustrating and potentially expensive it can be. Northern Virginia trial lawyer Thomas Robl understands your problem and seeks to put his experience and know how to defend you in your traffic citation proceeding.

Getting a traffic ticket can be a rather significant hindrance in your day. Ever notice that you always get a traffic ticket at the worst possible time? Even while pulled over you start talking to yourself in the car, “Not now!” or “That person cut me off.” Inevitably, a downward spiral of thoughts and questions come to mind including how your insurance premiums will go up, how will you pay the ticket, how much time do you have to pay, can you have a payment extension, or how many points will be deducted from your license for this specific offense.

The bottom line is that you may lose points off your license. Your insurance premiums may go up. After paying the fine, losing points, and paying your hiked-up insurance rates, a simple traffic ticket can be an expensive major pain. Imagine, you can have a perfect driving record, get one ticket, and then your insurance company wants to raise your rates. You are, in their eyes, a liability despite your overall good driving record. Some insurance companies will outright drop you from their coverage. This does not seem fair. You have another option.

Sometimes the police are just plain wrong. Even well intentioned police officers make mistakes. Well intentioned drivers make mistakes as well. Judges have a lot of discretion in Traffic Court and if it can be shown that the traffic citation is unreasonable or that you as a driver were acting reasonably, then perhaps the Judge’s discretion will result in your favor. However, you need a professional to work these angles. Many factors can drive the judge’s decision.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2005, there were over 550,000 people in the District of Columbia alone. In Fairfax County, there are over 1,000,000 million people. This does not even count Prince William County, Clarke County, or Winchester County. In addition, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 10% of drivers aged 16-24 drive while talking on their cell phone. Responsible drivers are forced to be on congested roads with young, irresponsible, and inexperienced drivers making it even more likely that you will inadvertently violate a traffic law. Violation of a traffic law can be more expensive than you think.

According to Virginia Statute § 46.2-8.33 running a red light or rolling through a flashing light can cost you up to not more than $350 and/or you “may be detained or arrested for a violation.” When adding up the congested traffic, the number of vehicles on the road at any given time, and the possible penalties of a traffic violation, it is in one’s best interest to have an attorney ready, willing, and able to defend you in court for a traffic ticket.
