Moving Violations in Charlotte
Moving violations refer to breaking traffic laws while driving a vehicle. Such violations can result in fines, and points on your driving record kept by the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (NC DMV), insurance point increases, which raise insurance premiums, and in some cases jail time. However, a Charlotte moving violations attorney at Estwanik & May can provide valuable legal advice and representation to deal with moving violation citations.
Common moving violations
We assist clients with all types of moving violations, such as the following:
• Passing a stopped school bus
• Hit and run property damage
• Reckless driving
• Following too closely
• Driving on the wrong side of the road
• Illegal passing
• Running a stop sign or red light
• Speeding
• Driving below the minimum speed
• Failing to yield the right-of-way
• Failure to stop for a siren
• Speeding in a school zone
• No operators license (NOL)
• Driving while impaired (DWI)
The NC DMV driving point system assigns points for certain moving violations, and when a driver receives a citation, waives rights, and pays the fine, the points go onto the individual’s driving record. Drivers accumulating too many points within a specified time period are subject to license suspension.
When to contest a moving violation
Speeding tickets often average $200 dollars in fines. The average person with several moving violations may be at risk for license suspension, which is a tremendous inconvenience and also costly from an insurance standpoint. However, if you are a commercial driver, a license suspension could mean losing your job because most employers do not hire commercial drivers with poor driving records.
Obtaining a Charlotte moving violations attorney to defend against a traffic citation is often the most affordable solution, especially for individuals with more than one violation or who face DWI charges.
