3. Bertram, Karl: Traffic Violations Most traffic violations are considered minor criminal offenses. Even minor mechanical or speeding violations can have serious consequences, leading up to your license being suspended if you have several infractions over a short period of time. Frequently, you will have to pay the fine listed on the face of the ticket, and there is also a strong possibility that your vehicle insurance premiums will increase. DUI / DWI Driving While Intoxicated ("DWI") is considered a serious crime in every state. DWI and Driving Under the Influence ("DUI") refer to the same crime. Drinking alcohol or taking drugs may affect your ability to operate cars, boats or industrial equipment in a safe manner. It is against the law in every state to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Felonies Felonies are any of several grave crimes such as murder, rape and burglary, for which a punishment greater than that of a misdemeanor is provided. Such a crime may carry extensive jail time and fines. Felony cases are not handled in a District Court, but rather bound over to the Circuit Court. Misdemeanors Misdemeanors are "lesser" criminal acts which are generally punished less severely than felonies but more so than infractions. Depending on the jurisdiction, examples of misdemeanors may include petty theft, prostitution, simple assault, trespass, vandalism, and the like. In general, misdemeanors are crimes with a maximum punishment of one year or less of imprisonment. Juvenile Law Many of the offenses for which young adults under the age of eighteen are charged are similar to adult crimes, ranging from traffic misdemeanors to violent felonies. Underage alcohol consumption or possession Drug use, trafficking and drug possession Arson or other vandalism Traffic violations, including speeding and driving without a license Assault and battery Shoplifting, theft or other property crimes Gang-related activities Trespassing Sexual misconduct

6. Altieri & Kelly: Convictions of traffic violations can put your driving privileges at risk, cause a dramatic increase in your insurance rates and limit your freedoms. Driver's License Suspension After a DWI Arrest A DWI arrest will involve the criminal case as well as a civil case involving driver's license suspension. If you have been charged with DWI, you have 15 days to challenge your driver's license suspension. If you refused the Breathalyzer test, you have 30 days to challenge the suspension of your driver's license. The first and second DWI offenses carry suspension for up to 90 days. Subsequent offenses result in suspension from a year to 10 years.
7. Brandi Morris: A driver's license is essential to our way of life, but a drunk-driving conviction or one too many speeding tickets can mean your license is suspended for months. If you have been charged with drunk driving, don't plead guilty until you have spoken with an attorney. You may have an effective defense, or I may be able to minimize the damage to your driving record.

AND you may be required to be on supervised probation (to keep out of the jail time that may be imposed) at a cost of anywhere from $12.00 to $20.00 per month for up to 24 months.
