Traffic Tickets

While the initial reaction may be to consider a traffic ticket as merely a $100 fine, the question arises: why invest time in contesting it? Why not settle and move on? I understand these sentiments.

However, the primary reason to challenge a traffic ticket lies in the potential ramifications on insurance premiums. It is important to recognize that traffic tickets can lead to a significant surge in insurance costs, primarily due to the accrual of demerit points. A seemingly minor violation has the potential to elevate insurance premiums by 25%, while a more serious infraction, such as stunt driving, can result in a doubling of the monthly insurance expenditure. This underscores the financial impact that warrants careful consideration and may justify the effort to contest the ticket.

When contesting a traffic ticket, there are dual motivations:

• Minimize or decrease the demerit points associated with the traffic violation.
• Prevent the conviction from affecting your standing with the insurance company.

A skilled traffic ticket professional understands legal intricacies, increasing your chances of getting the traffic ticket dismissed. They provide the best opportunity to protect your demerit points, ultimately saving you time and potentially reducing insurance premiums, thereby offering potential cost savings. We can help!
