Virginia is a Hands Free State
Virginia is now a “hands free” driving state. It is illegal for any person to hold any handheld personal communications device while driving a moving motor vehicle on the highways in Virginia. This is a new law that became effective on January 1, 2021 according to Va. Code 46.2-818.2. A violation of this law is a moving violation demerit point offense. Unfortunately, drivers from other states passing through Virginia cannot claim ignorance of the law. Contact a Prince William County VA traffic lawyer for help with your case.
Prince William County Reckless Driving REDUCED to No Points
Our traffic lawyers represented a motorist from North Carolina who was charged with criminal misdemeanor reckless driving on the interstate based on excessive speed evidence. A criminal misdemeanor conviction would have been a career ender. We were able to convince the Court to find our client NOT GUILTY. Unfortunately, the Judge was unwilling to dismiss the entire case. However, we convinced the Court to reduce the matter to defective equipment – which is a minor no points non moving infraction.
