Some types of vehicular crimes are considered misdemeanors, while others can carry felony charges. For example, a first offense DWI is typically a Class B misdemeanor. However, the possible penalty for a vehicular crime depends on the extent of damage and injury caused by your actions. If you are involved in a hit and run and cause less than $200 worth of damage, you may only be charged with a Class C misdemeanor and have to pay a fine. If you seriously injure or kill another driver in a hit and run, you may face a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in a state prison.
