Understanding Road Rage in Arizona

The term “road rage” does not apply to a specific traffic violation in Arizona, but there are instances in which a person may face prosecution if operating a vehicle in an unsafe fashion. In some situations, you may face a charge of aggressive driving, reckless driving, or other related infractions, all of which are misdemeanor charges under the law. These still warrant seeking legal guidance and support to navigate because they carry long-term implications.

In some situations, a road rage incident could become a felony. In situations where you face disorderly conduct with a weapon, with the vehicle being a dangerous weapon, that could warrant a felony charge. Aggravated assault with a weapon is an even more serious charge that carries the potential of mandatory prison time.

Hire a lawyer if you are facing any type of traffic violation like this. Our legal team at Suzuki Law Offices will help you build a strong defense against such claims and work get charges reduced in situations where we cannot get them dropped. Do not go to court without legal support from your side, and review our frequently asked questions to learn more.

What to Do if You Are Facing Road Rage Charges

If you were accused of road rage and a police officer detained you as such, you have the right to seek legal representation, and we recommend that you do so. Superior is a large city, and road rage incidents are on the rise, which is why many police officers are aggressively trying to crack down on these incidents. Yet, that does not mean you have to face the consequences and protect your rights, consider the following:

• Avoid fighting back with the police officer or engaging in any type of violent behavior.
• When possible, act in a calm and rational manner, which makes it seem more unlikely that you were engaging in road rage.
• Avoid making any statement that implicates you, such as stating you were following the other driver very closely or speeding to get around them.
• Even if you are innocent, seek representation before issuing a statement. It is not true that only guilty persons request the help of an attorney.
• Protect your rights by staying quiet until you meet with our legal team for guidance and support.

At Suzuki Law Offices, we offer a wide range of resources to protect our clients from the worst outcomes they could face, and most importantly, we are passionate about helping you. Seek out a consultation with our legal team now, no matter what the circumstances are, and let us go to work for you.

What Actions Could Be Aggressive Driving in Arizona

Many of those facing a road rage charge are facing a legal charge of aggressive driving, one that carries significant consequences depending on the situation. The term aggressive driving could refer to one or more actions that the prosecutor aims to prove you engaged in and, therefore, put other people at risk. To prosecute under A.R.S. §28-695, the prosecutor must prove that, during a single and continuous period, you engaged in these three things:

• Caused immediate hazard to another vehicle or person
• Was speeding
• Committed at least two of the following moving violations: failure to obey a traffic control device, unsafe lane change, following too closely, failure to yield the right of way, or overtaking or passing a vehicle on the right by driving off the pavement.

It can be challenging for the prosecutor to prove these elements, especially if they did not see you engage in these actions. Our Superior road rage defense attorney will gather all evidence available to help formulate a defense strategy that best suits your situation. We encourage you to reach out to us immediately for the guidance you need.

How to Defense Against Aggressive Driving in Arizona

Any type of aggressive driving can be complex to defend against, depending on the type of evidence available. As your road rage defense lawyer in Superior, we will find the resources available to demonstrate the inaccuracies of the claims made against you. Several defense strategies may be applied to your situation:

• Show the evidence was faulty or inaccurate in some way
• Demonstrate that the reporting party was lying or not providing accurate information fully
• Failure to prove all three factors related under the law
• Failure to demonstrate that fluid and continuous periods of driving took place when these actions are supposed to have occurred
• Building a self-defense claim

Because your case is unique to the situations involved, and many of these types of charges can be very heated, we encourage you not to fight with the police but to ask to speak to an attorney from our firm. Our legal team may be able to work to get the charges dropped, or in other cases, we may be able to get the charges reduced with a plea agreement.
