Ohio’s New Laws for Motorists.

We are a quarter of the way through 2017 and you probably are not aware that the Ohio legislature enacted dozens of new laws that took effect on January 1st.  Some of them may very well have an impact on you and you need to be aware of them.  This is especially true if you get pulled over one of these days for an offense you didn’t even know existed!

Did you know that Ohio motorists must give cyclists a minimum of three feet of clearance when passing?  Also, beginning in 2017 you can actually go through a stop light if it malfunctions and does not detect your vehicle coming to a stop.  If, heaven forbid, someone is killed with a car the driver’s license will be suspended AFTER they get out of prison instead of during their sentence.

We bring up these changes merely to illustrate that the driving laws of Ohio are fluid.  If you or someone you care about is pulled over and ticketed or arrested for a traffic violation, do not hesitate!  Call Northeast Ohio vehicle crime attorney Jon Sinn.  Just remember: the only sin is not calling Jon at (330) 431-0160.

What is a Real Traffic Attorney?

A great traffic attorney goes well beyond traffic tickets and slowing down at school crossings.  There are some truly major consequences that require a well-versed traffic lawyer.  What if you or a loved one are ticketed for driving on a suspended license?  In the state of Ohio that is a first degree misdemeanor.  And if you are convicted you could spend the next six months in jail!

In another case you are driving safely, but you run a stop light and you plow into another vehicle.  Some may dismiss this incident as minor if no one was seriously hurt.  Just as you became complacent the other driver begins complaining of aches and pains resulting from the crash.  Now you have insurance bulldogs and personal injury attorneys calling you constantly.

You need to contact a professional Akron traffic attorney immediately.  The situation will only escalate and you need aggressive representation.  Attorney Jon Sinn can keep that minor fender bender from becoming a huge injury lawsuit.  He has been fighting for the rights of those accused of auto accidents in Northeast Ohio for many years.  The only sin is not calling Jon.  Jon Sinn at (330) 431-0160.
