Traffic Violation Penalties:
You have just received a traffic ticket for a moving or non-moving violation. What actions should you take? You may want to just plead guilty and pay the ticket.
However, in California, a conviction for a traffic offense can cost you up to thousands of dollars and your license could be suspended. Your auto insurance rates may increase and perhaps skyrocket. If you want to fight your ticket and discuss your legal options with an ATTORNEY – NOT A PARALEGAL - call the Law Office of Eric C. Fonferek to set up a free initial consultation. In most cases, Attorney Eric C. Fonferek can appear on your behalf at all court appearances.
Traffic Violation Penalties:
Traffic infraction convictions can result in fines and points on your driving record. Paying the traffic ticket is the equivalent of pleading guilty or no contest to the offense. Misdemeanor traffic convictions may result in serious fines, up to one year in county jail, community service, and up to three years’ probation. Traffic violation felony convictions may result in time in state prison or county jail. Unless you successfully contest the traffic violation or successfully complete a court-approved "traffic school" (if you qualify for it), points accumulate against your driving record. The worse the violation, the more points accrue against your license. The California DMV only allows a fixed number of points to accrue before the driver is
adjudicated a "Negligent Operator”. The DMV designation of a "Negligent Operator" means license suspension and additional driving restrictions. Points can also result in higher insurance premiums and may result in denial of insurance coverage altogether.
The DMV maximum points allowable prior to a Negligent Operator designation is issued is as follows:
- 4 or more points in a 12 month period
- 6 points in a 24 month period
- 8 points in a 36 month period.
Don’t lose your time, money, insurance and possibly your freedom.
