The True Cost of a Speeding Ticket in North Carolina

Paying the fine for a speeding ticket may seem like the easiest solution, but it can lead to significant long-term consequences, including:

  • Higher Insurance Rates: Under North Carolina’s Safe Driver Incentive Plan (SDIP), traffic violations can lead to significant increases in your auto insurance premiums.
  • Points on Your License: Accumulating too many points can result in license suspension, leaving you without the ability to drive for months or even a year.
  • Criminal Consequences: Speeding at excessive speeds or in certain zones (e.g., school or work zones) can lead to a misdemeanor conviction, impacting your record permanently.

Our attorneys can often negotiate reduced charges, prevent license suspension, or even secure a dismissal. Don’t let a speeding ticket disrupt your life—reach out to us for a free consultation to discuss your options.

Common Consequences of Speeding Tickets

Depending on your case, a speeding conviction in North Carolina could lead to:

  • Points on your license (potential license suspension for 12 points in three years).
  • Significant increases in insurance premiums.
  • A misdemeanor conviction for excessive speeding.
  • Automatic one-year license revocation for speeds over 90 mph.

Don’t face these penalties alone. Our attorneys know the nuances of North Carolina traffic law and can fight to protect your record, license, and finances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I hire a lawyer for a speeding ticket?

Yes, hiring a speeding ticket lawyer can help reduce or eliminate the consequences of your ticket. An attorney can negotiate on your behalf, identify errors in evidence, and represent you in court, often saving you more money in the long term.

What is a Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC)?

A PJC is a unique legal resolution in North Carolina that can prevent points from being added to your driving record. It’s not available for all cases, so consult with a lawyer for speeding tickets to determine your eligibility.

How much does a speeding ticket attorney cost?

The cost varies, but in most cases, a speeding ticket attorney can save you more in fines, insurance premiums, and penalties than the attorney’s fee.

Can I fight a speeding ticket on my own?

While you can, navigating court procedures and traffic laws without professional help is challenging. An experienced speeding ticket lawyer knows the best defenses and strategies to achieve a favorable outcome.

Should I just pay the fine for my speeding ticket?

Paying the fine is an admission of guilt and may result in points on your license, increased insurance premiums, and a permanent conviction on your record. Consult an attorney to explore better options.

Can I lose my license for speeding?

Yes. Accumulating 12 points in three years or being convicted of excessive speeds (e.g., over 90 mph) can lead to license suspension.

Can I fight my speeding ticket without an attorney?

You can, but navigating court procedures, evidence rules, and legal defenses on your own is challenging. An attorney ensures the best chance of a favorable outcome.
