Because
being charged with a non-criminal traffic violation carries
lesser consequences than a criminal traffic violation, many
people find themselves overlooking or forgetting about the
infraction as they go about their busy lives. What these
people do not realize is that failure to pay the imposed
fine or show up on the designated court date may make
matters even worse.
Failure to pay
the imposed fine or failure to appear in court can be
serious enough to leave lasting consequences, such as the
potential suspension of your driving privileges, increase of
insurance rates and potential for jail time if you are
pulled over for driving on a suspended license.

Points against
your drivers license are typically added for moving
violations. While these traffic violations typically do not
carry the possibility of jail time, they may still carry
substantial fines. Traffic infractions may also cause your
car insurance rates to go up and may result in a driver's
license suspension if you have multiple offenses.
Driver’s
license suspension guidelines: (need to check statute)
Lose 12 points within a 12-month period, suspension is
30 days
Lose 18 points within an 18-month period, suspension is
3 months
Lose 24 points within a 36-month period, suspension is 1
year
Point loss is
cumulative and does not start over once a suspension is
served. For example, you could lose your license for 30
days, get 6 more points and be ordered to serve the 3 month
suspension. Our team is ready to help you hold onto your
license.
