Direct and Collateral Consequences of Traffic Violations
The repercussions of a traffic violation extend far beyond the courtroom.
Direct consequences of one or more traffic violations may include:
- Fines,
- Court fees, and
- Points being added to your license.
In many cases, traffic violations also lead to various collateral consequences.
Common collateral consequences of a traffic violation include:
- Increased insurance costs,
- License suspension, and
- Limitations on employment.
Collateral consequences can be more lasting than the direct penalties associated with the citation. It’s important to consider these potential consequences in determining whether you want to fight your traffic charge.
Defenses Against Traffic Violations
Defending against traffic violations in Carteret County involves a nuanced understanding of the law and the specific circumstances of each case.
- Challenging the evidence. We scrutinize the evidence presented by law enforcement, including the accuracy of speed measurement devices and the validity of traffic stops. We then use this information to contest the citation.
- Negotiating reduced penalties. When appropriate, we negotiate with prosecutors to reduce the charges or the severity of penalties, aiming to lessen the impact on your driving record and insurance rates.
- Presenting mitigating circumstances. We present mitigating factors, such as clean driving records or the necessity of travel at the time of the offense, to argue for reduced charges or penalties.
