What are some of California's vehicle code sections?

Misdemeanor hit and run, Vehicle Code 20002(a)
Felony hit and run, Vehicle Code 20001(a)
Felony reckless evading, Vehicle Code 2800.2

These are just a few examples of the many vehicle codes in California; violating these codes often means severe penalties/punishment for the offender. As trusted Riverside vehicle code defense lawyers, we know that while these crimes may seem mild in comparison to others, the penalties are harsh, putting offenders' freedom and future at stake. We believe that whether you are innocent or guilty of the charges against you, everyone deserves a second chance.

Here are details regarding several of the vehicle code crimes listed above, and what you may expect if convicted:

Vehicle Code 20002(a) Misdemeanor hit and run. If you leave the scene of an accident and do not identify yourself or other parties involved prior to leaving the scene and property damage results to someone else's property, you may be charged with this offense. If convicted, you face up to 6 months in jail, 3 years of informal probation, as much as $1,000 in fines and court-assessed penalties in addition. You may also be required to pay restitution.

Vehicle Code 2800.2 Felony reckless evading. When you purposefully evade a police or other law enforcement officer and do so in a manner that demonstrates willful disregard for others' safety, you violate this code and face felony charges. A conviction will leave you facing penalties that include 16 months, 2 years or 3 years in the state prison, and fines of $1,000 to $10,000.

Vehicle Code 14601(a) Driving on a suspended license. Driving on a suspended license that has been revoked due to DUI, multiple traffic offenses, reckless driving or a physical/mental disability that inhibits your ability to drive safely will result in various penalties that depend upon the circumstances. In most cases, penalties for those convicted for driving on a suspended license will include probation, jail time and/or substantial monetary fines. The penalties you may face depend on your driving history, reason for license suspension and whether you have had prior convictions while driving with a suspended license.

As experienced Riverside vehicle code defense lawyers, we work to build a sound, effective defense for those accused of vehicle code crimes. It may be possible to have the charges against you reduced through a plea bargain, or to have them dismissed entirely. The suspension of your license may have been unlawful from the beginning.
