Criminal Traffic Crime Penalties Are Severe

The consequences of being convicted of a criminal traffic violation is far greater than just a civil traffic infraction. You generally do not have the choice of just paying a fine and moving on with your life. You will also have a criminal record/criminal history with a misdemeanor or felony conviction. You don’t just pay a fine without further consequences if convicted. These consequences can have a far-reaching impact on your personal and professional life. You may face increased insurance rates or denied coverage, jail time, and points on your driving record that may lead to a suspension as they accumulate.

Understanding Criminal Driving Offenses in Pasco County

In Pasco County, maintaining safe roads and adhering to traffic laws is a priority for local authorities. Entities like the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners and the Pasco County Sheriff's Office enforce laws to maintain public safety, including those related to criminal driving offenses. However, these laws can sometimes result in misunderstandings, leading to charges that can be overwhelming and life-altering for those involved.

Whether an incident occurs on the busy roads of New Port Richey or in quiet neighborhoods of Land O’ Lakes, the impact of these charges can extend far beyond the initial event.
