Defending a Speeding Ticket In Flower Mound
The problem with speeding tickets are that they can cause so much damage to a driver in so many different ways. The three main areas of concern when dealing with a speeding ticket are (1) The driving record (2) the driver’s license (3) insurance rates. This article will address those three areas as they pertain to speeding tickets in Flower Mound so as to help you make an informed decision on how to protect yourself and get the best possible outcome for our individual case.
The Driving Record
Every speeding ticket a person receives that becomes a conviction is reported to The Department of Public Safety. This agency then has the power to take some very deliberate actions against the driver. First, DPS will assess points against the person’s driving record. Most violations accrue two points. Other violations are three points. Each driver is alloted a 6 point cushion over a three year period unless five points are accumulated in less than a year. If six points are accumulated in three years that person must pay $150.00 a year in surcharges to DPS or their license will be suspended. If five points are accumulated in less than a year, then the person is subject to an automatic driver’s license suspension for at least one year unless contested.
The Driver’s License
Again, moving violations cause points. Points cause surcharges. Points also cause suspensions. If you do not handle your traffic tickets properly you are going to get a suspensions guaranteed. When this happens you could face the very real possibility of the loss of employment, excessively high court fees and fines for future traffic tickets and the possibility of arrest. Our experienced legal team has dealt with all of these situations in a variety of circumstances. If you license has already been suspended it is important that you consider obtaining an occupational license in Flower Mound.
Insurance Rates
Most moving violations will cause an increase in insurance rates at about 20% or $20.00 per month. This is an average of course but is pretty accurate based on our case studies of past clients who have dealt with traffic ticket convictions. So do the math. An attorney will normally cost you about $75.00 to hire. Most cases, even if they are not dismissed, will be kept off your record. This creates a savings of $240.00 per year for 3 years totalling $720.00. This savings only costed you an estimated $75.00. Bottom line is that you should hire a Flower Mound traffic ticket attorney. It is worth it in so many ways. If you have a speeding ticket in Flower Mound you would like to discuss with our office we encourage you to FILL OUT OUR TRAFFIC TICKET QUESTIONNAIRE.
