Nance, P.A. can discuss your ticket, advise the best course of action, and provide effective representation.
Fighting traffic tickets and speeding tickets in Concord
Drivers face stiff penalties for Concord speeding tickets and other traffic violations based on point systems that add points to both your driving record and the North Carolina insurance points system called Safe Drivers Incentive Plan (SDIP).
The state driving points system can lead to a license suspension for 60 days, with subsequent license suspensions increasing to six months, and eventually up to a year. If the court does not allow limited driving privileges, your ability to work may be directly hampered by a suspended driver’s license, which translates to lost income or even job loss. Traffic fines are also a factor.
The insurance points system creates financial burden. One point incurs a 25 percent surcharge, two points a 45 percent surcharge, and the highest 12 point violation increases rates by 400 percent. Insurance points accumulating within three years from the date you submit an insurance application or insurance renewal count cumulatively, resulting in higher surcharges. Individuals who fail to fight a speeding ticket in Concord can end up spending thousands of extra dollars on insurance.
