When A Vehicle & Traffic Lawyer Is Needed For Moving Violations
Although some of the moving violation charges may be minor by comparison, enough of them within a specified period of time would be sufficient for license suspension.
Here is a brief listing of offenses and the points they carry:
Speeding over the speed limit:
- 1-10mph - 3 pts
- 1-20mph - 4 pts
- 1-30mph - 6 pts
- 31-40mph - 8 pts
- 40+ mph - 11 pts
- Reckless driving - 5 pts
- Violating railroad crossing - 3 pts
- Failing to yield right of way - 3 pts
- Seatbelt/chid safety seat violation - 3 pts
- Leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in property damage or animal injury - 3 pts
- Inadequate brakes - 4 pts
- Failing to stop for a school bus - 5 pts
There are more offenses than above-mentioned but this is just an example. Note: with the accumulation of points your insurance rate will increase. You need 11 points or more within 18 months for the DMV to suspend your license. You may want to hire a vehicle & traffic attorney when you need your rights protected if you are faced with serious moving violations. Your attorney may be able to negotiate to reduce the charges against you, plea bargain, as well as to determine if the ticket issued by the police officer was an unwarranted or flawed complaint.
However, if you are faced with a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) or DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) charge, as well as driving under the influence of drugs, your attorney should be highly experienced in DWI, for these cases are far more complex and will effect your freedom as well, as these charges venture into the criminal defense realm.
