Traffic Attorney in Fairfax

Running a Red Light/Stop Sign

A red light or stop sign violation in Virginia will result in 4 demerit points on one’s driving record. If the offense involved running through a red light or stop sign, there may be additional criminal charges that you will face, such as reckless driving or endangering a pedestrian. If someone was injured, you may face felony charges and harsh penalties upon a conviction.

One of the most important steps you can take if you or someone you know has been ticketed for a red light violation is to involve a Fairfax traffic ticket attorney.

At first glance, a ticket for running a red light may seem minor. However, it is important to remember that accumulating too many points on your driving record will result in the suspension of your license. A red light or stop sign violation is a 4-point violation, and if you accumulate 18 points within 12 months or 24 points within 24 months you may face license suspension.
