It may seem convenient, but it can be dangerous to pay a ticket online without consulting a traffic lawyer. Even a simple speeding ticket can have serious consequences on your driver’s license. It is important to have a qualified Greensboro traffic attorney help you navigate the complicated driving laws in North Carolina. The North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles has the ability to temporarily suspend or revoke your privilege to drive for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to: accumulating points on your license, failing to pay traffic fines, failing to appear in court, pleading guilty to high speeds or multiple speeding tickets within a certain period of time, or ceartain types of convictions like driving while impaired or fleeing to elude arrest. See more information on the NC DMV website.
Speeding and Other Traffic Tickets
Whether you have been charged with speeding, no operator’s license, hit and run, or any other traffic violation, pleading guilty may suspend or revoke your license and could result in higher insurance rates. An experienced Greensboro traffic lawyer may be able to get your charges reduced or see if you qualify for a Prayer for Judgment which may significantly reduce the impact on your insurance and help you keep your license.
limited privileges to drive
A limited driving privilege is a court order that allows you to drive within specific time periods for the limited purpose of work, school, worship, household maintenance, medical emergency, or participation in community service and substance abuse treatment. There are several different types of privileges that cover pretrial revocations, refusal revocations, high speed revocations, revocations that require an interlock device installed in your vehicle, among others. Just because your license has been suspended, you may still have options to make sure that you can get to work and provide for your family. Contact us to learn more.
License Restoration
If your license to drive has been suspended, call us and we can help you develop and implement a plan to get your license back. Each person’s plan will be different depending on why your license has been revoked or suspended. Here are some of the ways we can help:
If your license was suspended because you owe court fines, there may be a way to get those fees and costs evaluated by a judge to determine if you qualify for relief.
We may be able to add on old traffic cases that are in “failure to appear” status and get them resolved so that your license can be reinstated.
If your license is revoked due to a high speed or DWI conviction, you may qualify for a limited privilege and we can help you figure out what steps you have left to get your license back.
