Traffic violation penalties range depending upon the charges and may include jail time, loss of driving privileges, vehicle seizure, and expensive fines and conditions. In addition, you may also incur driver’s license reinstatement fees, court fees and surcharges, costly mandatory assessments and classes, increased insurance premiums and inconvenient court hearings. You may also lose your insurance coverage or jeopardize your employment status.
