Speeding Tickets

Reducing or dismissing speeding tickets to protect your license and insurance rates.

Speeding Tickets

Speeding tickets in North Carolina carry insurance points that can increase your premiums for three years, plus DMV points that can lead to license suspension. A ticket for 15+ mph over the limit is particularly serious and can result in a license revocation.

We handle speeding tickets in Wayne County District Court regularly, often negotiating reductions to improper equipment or lower speeds that carry fewer or no insurance points — saving you hundreds or thousands in increased premiums.

Understanding Speeding Tickets

Why Fight a Speeding Ticket?

  • Insurance points — a speeding ticket adds 1–4 insurance points, increasing premiums 15–45% for 3 years
  • DMV points — accumulating 12+ points in 3 years results in license suspension
  • High-speed violations — 15+ mph over or over 55 mph can trigger automatic license revocation

Common Reductions

We frequently negotiate reductions to "improper equipment" (a non-moving violation with no insurance points) or a lower speed that minimizes the impact on your record and insurance rates.
