Understand Traffic Laws with Help from a Traffic Lawyer for Morton IL

The sheer amount of traffic laws in Illinois and across the country can be enough to confuse even the most experienced drivers. So, it comes as no surprise when we suddenly find ourselves in violation of the law. And with enough accidental (or otherwise) violations, it can begin to reflect poorly on your driving record. To counteract this impact, allow a traffic lawyer for Morton IL to defend you in court. Essig Law Office can work with you on your next traffic violation.

Moving Violations and Non-Moving Violations

Between cases where you park in a restricted spot to where you are in a critical accident, there are varying degrees of traffic violations in Illinois.

Non-Moving Violations

The rules and regulations pertaining to where and when you can park your vehicle or how your vehicle functions are known as non-moving violations. Essentially, any law that doesn’t pertain to the physical operation of your car can be considered “non-moving.” These violations often come with fines and minimal points to your record. However, add enough up, and you risk more severe penalties. Non-moving violations include:

  • Parking Tickets
  • Expired Tags
  • Broken Taillights
  • Stopping in Fire Lanes
  • No Proof of Insurance

Moving Violations

Any laws you might break that pertain to how you operate your vehicle can be considered moving violations. Some moving violations are minor, like failing to stop at a light or stop sign. However, other moving violations are more on the level of misdemeanor or felony, such as DUIs. Depending on the charge and the severity of the violation, you face steep fines, license suspensions and possible jail time. Examples of moving violations include:

  • Hit & Runs
  • Speeding Tickets
  • Drunk Driving
  • Failure to Yield
  • Reckless Driving
