Should You Hire a Traffic Ticket Lawyer?

You are not obligated to hire a lawyer for a traffic ticket, but there could be serious consequences, depending on the type of violation and your driving record.

There is more to a ticket than a fine. That is why you are encouraged to call a Detroit traffic ticket attorney before you pay a fine or go to traffic court alone.

Points, Fines & Hiked Insurance Rates

When you plead guilty or are found guilty, the violation goes on your record. Not only does this likely cause your insurance premiums to increase, but you also risk losing your driving privileges.

When a traffic violation is added to your driving record:

  • Michigan adds points to your license that remains for two years
  • If you accumulate 12 points during this time, your license is suspended
  • You must schedule, prepare, and pay for reexamination before your license is reinstated
  • Your auto insurance company can drop you for excessive points or a suspended license, and it may be difficult and expensive when you reapply for coverage

Losing your license could be a serious setback if you need to drive for school, work, and family. The best way to avoid losing your license is not to acquire points in the first place. A traffic defense lawyer can help you avoid points and retain your driving privileges.

You Could Even Go to Jail

The consequences for a ticket could be worse than losing your license and paying more for car insurance. Some traffic violations are misdemeanors, leading to jail time, probation, expensive fines, and other penalties. If you cause someone severe injury or death, you could be charged with a felony, which increases your chance of imprisonment.

You don’t have to accept a ticket. You can fight back, and the best way to do that is by hiring a traffic ticket lawyer in Detroit.

Common Michigan Traffic Violations

Even the most common traffic violations could impact your driving privileges, auto insurance rates, finances, family life, and career.

  • Speeding
    • Operating a Vehicle Over 30 Miles per Hour – If an officer catches you driving 30 miles per hour or more above the speed limit, you will face significant penalties
    • Operating a Vehicle Over 100 Miles per Hour – Driving over speeds of 100 miles per hour is a serious crime and could result in a felony charge. Depending on whether you had passengers in the car and whether this is a first or subsequent offense, a conviction for excessive speeding could lead to severe penalties.
  • Reckless Driving
  • Driving With a Suspended License
  • Leaving the Scene
  • Improper Turn
  • Failing to Yield the Right of Way
  • Failing to Stop for a School Bus
  • Ignoring Stoplights and Other Traffic Control Devices
