Traffic violations & speeding tickets may seem minor on the surface, but they can carry serious financial and legal consequences. At Ryan Watson Law, we represent individuals facing traffic-related charges with a clear & strategic approach, helping you understand your options and avoid long-term consequences.
Many drivers assume that paying a ticket is the easiest way to resolve the situation. As easy as it may sound, paying a traffic ticket is typically considered an admission of guilt and can result in points being added to your driving record.
In North Carolina, even a single violation, no matter how big it may be, can have a significant impact on your driving record, license, insurance, and future violations. What may seem like a minor ticket can carry long-term consequences depending on how it is handled.
Traffic offenses can vary widely, ranging from minor infractions to more serious charges.
Common violations may include:
Traffic violations in North Carolina can result in more than just a fine. Depending on the charge, you may face both immediate and long-term consequences.
Potential consequences may include:
Traffic violations can result in insurance points under the North Carolina Safe Driver Insurance Plan (SDIP). These points are applied when you are found guilty of specific traffic offenses or are involved in at-fault accidents.
Separate from insurance points, the North Carolina DMV assigns driver’s license points for traffic offenses. These points are tied directly to your driving record and are used to track repeated violations. If multiple points in a specific period are accumulated it can result in your drivers license suspended.
