Failure to Move Over for a Stationary Vehicle is a Traffic Violation
Virginia code 46.2-861.1 requires the driver of any motor vehicle to “move over” when passing a stationary vehicle under certain traffic conditions. A violation of this law can be considered reckless driving if the stationary vehicle is an emergency vehicle. This is a criminal misdemeanor in some cases. Ignorance of the law is not a defense. If you have been accused of violating this law then you need to consult an attorney before appearing in Fairfax County General District Court.
Fairfax County I-95 Reckless Driving NOT GUILTY
Interstate 95 in Fairfax County is no one’s favorite road. Our traffic attorneys represented a client from Maryland accused of criminal misdemeanor reckless driving for driving too fast on I-95. A criminal conviction would have devastating consequences. We were able to convince the Judge to find our client NOT GUILTY. Unfortunately, the Court was unwilling to dismiss the entire case, but we convinced the Judge to reduce the matter to the lowest offense possible called defective equipment. This is a no points non moving violation.
