Speeding Tickets
In addition to a hefty fine, a speeding ticket can add points to your driving record. Too many points can lead to a suspension of your driver's license.
Speeding in a School or Construction Zone
Getting a speeding ticket in a school or construction zone doubles your fine and your points. Such speeding tickets can easily add up to a license suspension.
School Bus Violations
The courts take violations involving school buses extremely seriously. You need to act quickly to avoid the worst consequences.
Reckless Driving
Reckless driving is a misdemeanor and can be issued for a number of reasons, from road rage to quick lane changes to burning rubber. A seemingly minor offense can quickly escalate to serious consequences, including a criminal record.
Hit and Run Accidents
Leaving the scene of a personal injury accident (commonly called a hit and run) is prosecuted aggressively. If you are accused of leaving the scene of a personal injury or property damage accident, it can have major implications for your driving record.
Driving Without Insurance
Driving without insurance will result in an automatic suspension of your license for one full year and a $750 civil penalty to the DMV. Since this is only an infraction with a minor fine in the court room, people often think this is a minor ticket and don't think they need to speak with a lawyer.
New York State Point System
Any points on your driving record can add up to a major increase in your insurance rates. With the New York State Point System, it's harder to negotiate a reduction in fines when you start accumulating points. Tickets that include points can be given for many reasons, including failure to yield, failure to stop, illegal turns and even not using your turn signal. Each ticket you receive adds points to your driving record. The more points you get, the more effort will be required to clear your record.
License Suspension and Revocation
Your driver's license or commercial driver's license can be suspended for many reasons, including too many speeding tickets, work or school zone tickets, or a citation for no insurance. Certain infractions will likely mean an automatic suspension.
Traffic Court
Going to traffic court alone may allow you to "get it over with" quickly, but an experienced attorney can help you make the most of your appearance.
