Speeding Tickets

Speeding Tickets

Speeding tickets are a pain, and just about all of us have had one at one time or another. While many people might just pay the fine, take the points and deal with the associated insurance rate hikes, it’s important to know that you can fight a ticket. Furthermore, you can get professional help fighting a speeding ticket. Not only is it possible to have a lawyer fight your ticket, it’s a really good idea. A lawyer has professional knowledge of the law and can help you get the best possible outcome in your case. For some people, that means avoiding the expensive fine, points on their license and having the insurance company raise their premiums. If you’re facing an expensive speeding ticket, contact a criminal defense lawyer with proven traffic violation experience immediately.

Why Fight a Speeding Ticket?

Is it more trouble to fight the ticket or just pay the fine? That depends upon your unique situation, but in most cases, it’s a good idea to fight it. Whether it’s your very first moving violation blemish on an otherwise spotless driving record or your third or forth ticket, get a lawyer on your side to ensure the best possible outcome. Fighting a ticket means you have a chance at avoiding the penalties associated with the ticket. Nobody wants to have their insurance rates exorbitantly hiked due to one measly speeding ticket. The moving violation could be on your record or years and cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars over a period of time in increased insurance costs.

Professional Help Fighting a Speeding Ticket

It’s okay to get professional help to fight a speeding ticket. Although many people try to fight speeding tickets alone, it’s a good idea to have somebody on your side with knowledge, experience, skill and education. A good criminal defense lawyer can thoroughly examine the circumstances of your case to determine the best way to proceed. Even though some people might brush it of as “just a speeding ticket,” it can have a serious and long-lasting impact on your life, so don’t be afraid to get professional help.

Costs and Penalties Associated With Speeding Tickets

Speeding tickets have long-term insidious repercussions on one’s finances and life. First, there is the initial fine. Second, there are the points on your license. Third, your insurance company is likely going to raise your premiums. Depending upon the circumstances of your case, you could also be facing additional coasts for things like traffic school. You might also be facing a potential loss of your driver’s license, which could mean greater difficulty getting to your job, earning a living or getting your children to and from school. A simple speeding ticket can negatively impact a person and their family’s life for months and years to come.

Additional Criminal Charges

In some cases, a speeding ticket is just one of many potential moving violations or criminal charges. If your case has the added complications of misdemeanor or felony criminal charges, you need to contact a lawyer immediately about your defense. Even if a speeding ticket is just one small part of your case, you need to speak with a criminal defense attorney. If you’re facing additional criminal charges, you could be looking at time in jail or prison, if convicted.

What About Multiple Moving Violations?

If this isn’t your first speeding ticket, or if there are additional moving violations associated with the incident, you definitely need to call a lawyer. Points can add up quickly, and before you know it, you’re one speeding ticket away from losing your license. A loss of a driver’s license in America can spell disaster for the person impacted and their family. We all know how hard it is to have a car in the shop. Now, imagine losing your license for an extended period of time.
