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, which is a criminal misdemeanor in some cases. If you have been accused of violating this law then you need to consult an attorney before appearing in the Rockingham General District Court.
Rockingham County I-81 Reckless Driving REDUCED to No Points
Our Rockingham County VA traffic lawyer defended a client from Pennsylvania accused of criminal misdemeanor reckless driving for driving too fast on I-81. A criminal conviction would have drastic consequences. We were able to convince the Judge to find our client NOT GUILTY. Unfortunately, the Court was unwilling to dismiss the entire 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.
