Ron Gore is an Amelia County, Virginia criminal defense attorney who provides representation for clients charged with traffic offenses (e.g., speeding, reckless driving, DUI, and driving on a suspended or revoked license, in Amelia County, Virginia.

Your driver’s license is more than legal authorization to drive a car.  It’s a critical tool necessary for you to put a roof over your head and food on the table.  Without our cars, most of us can’t get to work, go to the grocery school, our take our children to the doctor’s office or after-school activities.  Because you have become so dependent on your ability to drive, it is important that you make wise decisions when charged with a driving-related offense.

To begin, while you may consider the ability to drive on Virginia’s roads to be a right, the Commonwealth considers it a privilege.  That distinction is important, because it effects how and under what circumstances the Commonwealth will suspend or revoke your ability to drive legally in Virginia.

You must also consider how a driving-related conviction, even for a speeding ticket, may affect your insurance premium. If you hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL), certain driving-related convictions may cost you your job, even if you were pulled over while in your personal vehicle on your own time.

For those visiting Virginia who are convicted of a driving offense committed while driving through Amelia County, be aware that your home state may learn of your conviction. Some states will suspend the driver’s license of one of their own residents if that resident’s driving privileges are suspended in Virginia.
