Criminal Penalties for Traffic Violations in Michigan

The Michigan Vehicle Code outlines the penalties associated with traffic violations in Michigan, and our attorneys work to protect clients from wrongful conviction or excessive punishment.

In the state of Michigan reckless driving is a misdemeanor which could result in up to 93 days imprisonment and a fine of $500. Reckless driving could include speeding, racing, stunt driving, or other driving that violates traffic laws. If reckless driving causes serious injury or death to another person, you could face 5 to 15 years imprisonment and increased fines.

Other traffic violations involve motor vehicle accidents, and while failure to stop at the scene after damaging a vehicle will result in a misdemeanor charge punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of $100, failure to stop at the scene of serious accidents involving injury or death could result in up to 15 years in prison.

Alcohol related traffic violations such as DUI, OWI, OUIL, Open Container in Vehicle, and other charges are also serious and should be handled by an experienced attorney. While a first DUI could result in 93 days imprisonment along with fines and license restriction or suspension, a felony drunk driving charge could result in up to 5 years in prison along with a 5 year license revocation.
