Should I pay off my traffic ticket?
In short, NO! In North Carolina, there are certain traffic offenses that do not require a mandatory court appearance. Those cases can be paid off through the County Clerk’s office. By paying off one of those citations, however, you are pleading guilty and in many cases acquiring points on your driver’s license and insurance without even realizing it. For example, paying off a 39 mph in a 25 mph zone ticket can cause your insurance premium to increase 25% for the next three years in addition to adding three points on your driver’s license.
In most cases, our traffic ticket lawyers are able to have your ticket reduced or dismissed to protect your insurance rate and driver’s license. Call our office today for a free consultation on how to handle your speeding ticket or traffic violation.
Other traffic citations may require a mandatory court appearance such as speeding at a high rate of speed, reckless driving, driving on a suspended license or without a license, fleeing to elude arrest and more. It is imperative to have legal representation for these misdemeanor offenses. In many instances, we are able to appear in court on your behalf and resolve your case without you stepping a foot in the courthouse.
