Traffic Offense Lawyers in Rutherfordton, NC
- Speeding — Some speeding tickets are minor infractions that add insurance points to your record. Others are more serious Class 2 misdemeanors and carry greater penalties, including hefty fines and jail time if you have prior convictions. If you are ticketed for driving more than 15 miles above the speed limit or more than 80 mph, a conviction could cost you a $1,000 fine and time in jail if you have previous convictions.
- Reckless Driving — Reckless driving is a serious charge in North Carolina. It is classified as a Class I misdemeanor, the same classification as a DWI charge. Reckless driving occurs when a motorist drives a vehicle without proper care, based on the current weather and road conditions. But prosecutors must prove that the driver intentionally drove in a manner which would endanger others’ lives and property and disregarded the consequences of his actions. It’s often possible to negotiate a reduced charge to keep a reckless driving conviction off your driving record.
- Traffic Offense — Certain traffic offenses, such as speeding through a safety zone, have heightened penalties. For example, speeding in a work zone adds $250 to your fine as well as insurance points and driving record points. Speeding in a school zone adds three driving license and insurance points. It’s important to avoid adding points to your driving record because it could lead to a suspended or revoked license or vehicle seizure if you have multiple convictions within three years.
