When you are pulled over in Vero Beach for an alleged traffic violation, you may be issued a citation. In most cases, you have 30 days to respond, and most people simply opt to pay the ticket and try to forget about it. The traffic violation stays on your driving record, and too many tickets can cause you to lose your driving privileges. With a criminal lawyer’s help, you can contest a traffic ticket to try to prevent points being added to your driving record, thus protecting your ability to drive. Contact The Law Offices of David Golden, P.A. at 772-770-4101 or complete an online contact form to have our lawyer provide an honest and thorough evaluation of your case during a free consultation.
It is important to keep in mind that most traffic violations in Florida are assigned point values, and your conviction for one of those offenses results in that many points being added to your driving record. A driver’s license will be suspended for 30 days if a person accumulates 12 or more points in a 12-month period, 90 days if they accumulate 18 or more points in an 18-month period, and one year if they accumulate 24 or more points in a 36-month period. If your license is suspended, it may be impossible for you to go to work, which can seriously disrupt your life. Rather than accepting these consequences, you can hire a defense attorney to contest your traffic violation, have previous violations expunged from your record, or help you get your license reinstated if it is revoked.
