Whether you live in the area or live out-of-state, a traffic ticket is never a pleasant experience. The Tappahannock area, at the intersection of Route 17 and Route 360, is well traveled.

A speeding ticket can be expensive, increase your auto insurance rates, affect your driver’s license, and even jeopardize your employment.
A reckless driving charge is a Class 1 misdemeanor with a maximum punishment of 12 months in jail and/or a $2,500 fine.
A DUI conviction can be devastating. A DUI is a Class 1 misdemeanor with a maximum punishment of 12 months in jail and/or a $2,500 fine.
