Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle
Civil Violations
A particularly impressive young man found himself in a bind. He was operating his motorcycle when he slightly hit the side of a car at a stoplight. Anytime a person contact with another driver like that you must stop and exchange information. Otherwise, it will result in a leaving the scene charge. Here, client didn’t stop, he also, drove away in a reckless manner, including a red light and marked violation. He was caught in camera and the police issued him a citation. He called Attorney Barabino right away and told client to go directly to the courthouse and request a hearing within 4 days of receipt of that notice which can give him a magistrate hearing, which he did. At the hearing, a variety of facts and circumstances were detailed resulting in all allegations not being charged. And civil infractions, not responsible.
RESULT: Case Does NOT Move Forward.
