High Point, NC Traffic Ticket Attorneys

Don’t just pay your ticket without being aware of the number of points you currently have against you. You can find this information by contacting the Department of Transportation
at 919-715-7000. If the prosecutor handling your case allows you to go to traffic school, the point value normally assessed for your speeding charge will not count against your record. Traffic school is like an amnesty. You don’t have the points counted against you, but you have to take more time out of your schedule and actually attend the class, which from all reports
is not the most entertaining way to spend an evening. Also, you can only go to traffic school once every year.
In North Carolina there are two charges, Defective Equipment and Speeding 10 miles over the Speed Limit on a Limited Access Roadway, that carry fines and court costs that satisfy the police and prosecutors, but that may carry NO POINTS and NO TRAFFIC SCHOOL! Depending on your situation (your driving record, the facts surrounding the charge, if you have a suspended license, speeding tickets, license reinstatement procedures, etc.), a lawyer may be able to help you work out an agreement involving one of these charges with the local prosecutor.

For further information about your driving record, contact the North Carolina Department of Transportation in Raleigh, 1100 New Bern Avenue, 27697, Monday – Friday 8:00am – 5:00 pm.

For many low level misdemeanors, such as speeding, there are programs available to keep the ticket off your record and keep your points from increasing.
