Types of Traffic Violations

Commonly charged traffic offenses include driving under the influence, speeding, street racing, reckless driving, using a cell phone while driving, red light and carpool violations, and driving on a suspended license. The penalties for traffic violations vary considerably and are based on the nature and seriousness of the alleged offense. A lawyer in Corona could help someone facing a motor vehicle violation and explain their legal options based on their specific offense.

Carpool Lane Violations

In California, bumper-to-bumper traffic is nothing out of the ordinary. The frustration of fighting traffic or the need to reach a destination often causes drivers to enter the carpool or HOV lane unlawfully. The carpool lane is designated for vehicles carrying two or more occupants. It was created to encourage drivers to carpool to relieve traffic congestion. Vehicles that can legally use the carpool lane include motorcycles, mass transit vehicles, paratransit vehicles, vehicles that meet specific emissions standards and are displaying CAV decals. First-time carpool lane offenders may receive a minimum fine of $481 but may not receive any points on their DMV record.
