Traffic tickets are a hassle, and getting pulled over can really ruin a good day. But the news gets worse: If you have previous violations, a single traffic ticket may be enough to lead to the loss of your driver's license or a serious increase in your insurance rate.

Different Counties, Different Outcomes
Courts in and around the Triangle and beyond do not always treat traffic cases the same way. County by county, there can be quite a difference in the type of outcome that can be obtained. Durham and Raleigh and surrounding Triangle areas traffic lawyer, Ken Steinberg is familiar with the courts in our area and how they view traffic cases.
It may be possible to have certain speeding violations reduced to improper equipment or city code violation. This can reduce the points you would have received, and keep your insurance rates down.
For example, a guilty plea for speeding more than 10 mph over the limit in a 55 mph zone may result in 3 points and a 45% increase in your insurance rates. If the charge is reduced to improper equipment, you will not experience any DMV points or insurance increases.

Paying a fine without first speaking to an experienced Durham and Raleigh and surrounding Triangle areas traffic ticket lawyer can have more serious repercussions than just hitting you in the pocketbook.
