Speeding Tickets

at Wilson, Reives & Doran

Your driving record is what keeps you on the road. Every time you get a speeding ticket, you accumulate points on your driver’s license. If you accumulate too many points, the penalties can be startlingly harsh, but a speeding ticket lawyer can help you fight the case.

Some of the outcomes of a speeding ticket can include:

  • Your license may be restricted
  • You may be required to pay high fines and fees to the DMV and/or traffic court
  • You may be required to complete a driver improvement or defensive driver course
  • Your license may be suspended, revoked, or even canceled
  • Your insurance company may raise your car insurance rates

It can take years to undo that damage from a single speeding ticket. But if you successfully challenge the charge with the help of a speeding ticket lawyer, you maintain your car insurance rates and avoid accumulating points on your license.

The speeding ticket lawyers at Wilson, Reives & Doran are prepared to help you fight your charges. Work with us, and get effective legal counsel from lawyers you can trust.

What are the North Carolina speeding laws?

In North Carolina, speeding in excess of 55 mph is a 3-point offense.

Speeding in a school zone in excess of the posted school zone speeding limit is also a 3-point offense.

If you hold a commercial motor vehicle license, both these charges are 4-point offenses.

If you accumulate 7 points on your driver’s license, you may be assigned to a driver improvement clinic and have to pay a clinic fee of $50. Upon satisfactory completion of the clinic, 3 points are deducted from your driving record.

If you accumulate as many as 12 points within a three-year period, your license may be suspended. Accumulating 8 points within 3 years following the reinstatement of your license can result in a second suspension.
