If you’ve received a traffic ticket there are certain things you should know:
Convictions for certain offenses and speeds carry insurance points and driver’s license points
Insurance points can increase the price you pay for car insurance, sometimes significantly
The NC DMV keeps track of driver’s license points for the purpose of taking your license away
Besides driver’s license points, certain traffic ticket convictions can trigger an automatic license suspension
Community service hours, probation, jail time … all are possibilities for certain convictions
A plea bargain may be possible that can help prevent some of the bad consequences
Often times a lawyer can go to court on your behalf so you won’t have to miss work
It is your lawyer’s duty to look out for your best interest … it is the duty of the Prosecutor to look our for the interest of the State of North Carolina
Hardison & Cochran is dedicated to client satisfaction and would be glad to make it our duty to help you with your traffic matter
