Taunton Motor Vehicle Offense Attorney
The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles will suspend someone’s driver’s license for a variety of reasons. The following are only a few reasons:
- Five Surcharges: A driver that has 5 civil vehicle citations or 5 surcharges within a three year period will have to undergo traffic school or they will face a license suspension. Surcharges are accessed when a motorist is involved in an accident where they are more than 50 percent at fault and also when they are written a citation.
- 7 Surcharges: 7 surcharges within a three year span will result in a suspended license for 60 days. The driver has no recourse for this suspension.
- 12 Surcharges and the Habitual Traffic Offender: 12 surchargable events within 5 years will classify the driver as a habitual offender and will result in a loss of license for 4 years.
- Criminal Vehicle Offenses: Anyone who has 3 criminal vehicle offenses will be deemed a habitual offender and will lose their driver’s license for 4 years. The following are some examples of criminal motor vehicle offense: OUI conviction, refusing to take the breath test, leaving the scene of personal injury or property damage, negligent operation, driving on a suspended or revoked license, failure to stop when instructed by police.
