Frequently Asked Questions About Traffic Violations
I just received a speeding ticket! What do I do now?
First and foremost, DO NOT PAY THE TICKET! This often seems like the easiest way to handle the situation; however, it can end up costing you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in increased insurance premiums and possibly even result in the loss of your driving privileges! We recommend immediately calling an attorney for a FREE CONSULTATION. Even if you choose not to hire us, we are more than happy to discuss your options and potential outcomes to help you make a decision.
What happens to my driver's license and insurance if I plead guilty?
If you plead guilty to certain traffic violations, the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles may assess points against your license. If you accumulate too many points, the State may revoke your license. Additionally, points against your license often result in drastic increases in insurance premiums.
What happens if I cannot attend or I miss court on my assigned court date?
If you cannot attend court on your assigned day, you should immediately call the clerk of court in the county in which you received your ticket and see if he or she will reschedule your court date. Oftentimes; however, this can only be accomplished by hiring an attorney or attending court yourself on the date given to you on your ticket. If you do miss court, you will be given a failure to appear (FTA). This often results in an increased fine and can result in the loss of your license and driving privileges. In many counties, once you receive an FTA, you must have your case added back onto the docket by an attorney.
What can an attorney do in traffic court that I cannot do myself?
We hear this question a lot during traffic violation consultations and the truthful answer is often "it depends." We want all of our clients to know their rights regardless of whether or not they choose to have one of our attorneys represent them in court. There are certain situations where we have told clients to merely represent themselves rather than hire an attorney. Most of the time; however, the relationships that our attorneys have with the District Attorney's office and the expertise regarding handling of traffic violations will result in a more beneficial outcome than if you were to represent yourself. Additionally, if you choose to hire an attorney, you will likely never be required to set foot in a court room and miss work or school for half or even an entire day.
