FAILURE TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT

Busy city street with people crossing, buses, cars, and tall buildings.

Running a Red Light in Virginia Has Serious Consequences. Here’s What You’re Facing

Failure to Stop at a Red Light – VA Code § 46.2-833

Running a red light in Virginia is more than just a traffic ticket — it's a moving violation that can have lasting consequences. A conviction carries:

  • 4 demerit points on your DMV record (remaining for 3 years)

  • Fines up to $350, plus court costs

  • Significant increases in your car insurance premiums, sometimes lasting several policy cycles

If an accident or injury was involved, penalties can escalate quickly. In some cases, the charge may be enhanced to reckless driving, or tied to a DUI/DWI arrest.

This type of stop is often initiated by red light cameras or officer observation. Our legal team knows how to challenge traffic camera evidence, cross-examine witness statements, and dissect the officer’s report for inconsistencies.
