Traffic Offenses
You get stopped for failure to yield. You pay the $100 ticket and forget about it. Two months later, you have a minor fender-bender that is your fault. You again pay the fine, settle with the insurance company and forget about it. However, your insurance rates will increase.
Even though you paid your fines, you could still lose your license if you receive several tickets within a certain period of time. To be considered a negligent driver, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles your point counts are:
- Four points in 12 months
- Six points in 24 months
- 8 points in 36 months
Points can add up fast. One point violations include a traffic conviction or an at-fault accident. You will get two points on your license if you are convicted of reckless driving or hit and run; DUI and driving with a suspended or revoked license.
These are not the kinds of points you want to receive in life. Call Luftman, Heck and Associates if you have a question about a traffic ticket you have received. We have represented clients with all types of cases including, but not limited to:
