What Is a Moving Violation?

A moving violation occurs when a driver breaks a traffic law while their vehicle is in motion. Examples include speeding, running a red light, tailgating, or improper lane changes. In North Carolina, moving violations often carry fines, points on your driving record, and increased insurance premiums. More serious violations, such as reckless driving or driving under the influence (DUI), can lead to criminal charges.

At the Law Office of Nathan Earwood, we have decades of experience helping clients navigate the complexities of moving violations. We will fight to reduce or dismiss your charges, protect your driving record, and keep your insurance rates from skyrocketing.

The Hidden Costs of a Moving Violation

Paying a traffic ticket may seem like the easiest option, but it could cost you more than you realize. North Carolina’s DMV points system can quickly lead to license suspension and increased insurance premiums. Hiring a skilled attorney can help you avoid these long-term consequences.

How We Can Help You

Mitigating Insurance and DMV Points

North Carolina’s Safe Driver Incentive Plan ties traffic violations to insurance increases, while DMV points can threaten your driving privileges. Our attorneys fight to minimize or eliminate these penalties.

Negotiating Reductions or Dismissals

We explore every option, from reducing charges to lesser offenses to dismissing them altogether. In more serious cases, such as speeding 90+ mph or reckless driving, we work to secure the best possible outcome, which might include a Limited Driving Privilege.

Trial Representation

For cases requiring a trial, we are prepared to challenge the state’s evidence and hold prosecutors to the strict “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard.
