Aggressive Driving Defense Lawyers in Baltimore

Defending against aggressive driving charges that threaten your license and freedom in Maryland.

Aggressive driving is a serious traffic offense in Maryland that goes beyond a simple moving violation. Under Maryland law, aggressive driving is defined as committing three or more specified traffic offenses at the same time or during a single continuous period of driving. A conviction carries significant penalties including fines, points on your license, and potential jail time.

At Killian Law Group, our traffic defense attorneys challenge aggressive driving charges by examining each underlying violation individually and identifying weaknesses in the state’s case that can lead to reduced charges or dismissal.

    Frequently Asked Aggressive Driving Questions:

    Can an aggressive driving charge be reduced in Maryland?

    Yes. Our attorneys frequently negotiate aggressive driving charges down to individual traffic violations carrying fewer points and lower fines. By challenging the evidence supporting each underlying violation, we can often weaken the prosecution’s ability to prove the combined charge.

    How is aggressive driving different from reckless driving in Maryland?

    Aggressive driving involves committing three or more specific traffic violations during a single driving period. Reckless driving involves operating a vehicle with willful or wanton disregard for the safety of others. Reckless driving carries harsher penalties including up to 6 months in jail.

    What are the penalties for aggressive driving in Maryland?

    Aggressive driving is a misdemeanor in Maryland punishable by a fine of up to $500 and up to 5 points on your driver’s license. It can also be considered in insurance rate determinations and may lead to license suspension if combined with other points on your record.

    What qualifies as aggressive driving in Maryland?

    Under Maryland law, aggressive driving occurs when a driver commits three or more moving violations simultaneously or during a continuous period of driving. Qualifying violations include speeding, following too closely, unsafe lane changes, failure to yield, and running red lights or stop signs.
