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 if it involves an emergency vehicle is considered reckless driving, which is a criminal misdemeanor. If you have been accused of violating this law then you need to consult an attorney before appearing in the General District Court.
Reckless Driving Speeding I-85 REDUCED to Defective Equipment
Our traffic attorneys represented a client from North Carolina accused of criminal misdemeanor reckless driving based on speed evidence in excess of 80 mph. A conviction would have drastic consequences. We were able to convince the Judge to find our client NOT GUILTY as charged. Unfortunately, the Judge was unwilling to dismiss the case. However, we convinced the Judge to reduce the matter to the lowest offense possible called defective equipment. This is a no points non moving violation.
