For many individuals who are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction such as speeding, their interaction with law enforcement will result in a speeding ticket. When the penalty involves a fine, many people choose to pay the fine and be done with it, thinking this is the easiest way to deal with the ticket. In reality, for every minor infraction received, points are added to your driving record that can result in fines, future fees and increased insurance rates. For this reason, it's important that you have a lawyer to fight the charges.
Gainesville and Ocala, Florida, Speeding Ticket Points Attorney
I am Christian Straile, a traffic ticket lawyer who handles both civil and criminal traffic matters from my offices in Gainesville and Ocala, Florida. My goal is to protect your rights and best interests.
In every civil traffic offense you have three choices:
- First — You could plead guilty and pay the fine for the traffic ticket, in which case points will be added to your driving record, which could result in a suspended license as they add up.
- Second — If you qualify, you may elect to attend a basic driver improvement course or traffic school. If you select this option, you still have to pay the fine at the Clerk of Courts for the county where you received the ticket, but points cannot be assessed and your insurance rates cannot increase.
- Third — You may elect to fight your traffic violation or traffic ticket in court. A judge may order you to attend a traffic school. CDL drivers cannot elect traffic school, so it's extremely important to call an attorney right away.
