The Law Office of Maria D. Noto, P.C., understands the inconvenience and stress that comes with receiving a traffic ticket. Violations such as speeding, failing to signal, reckless driving, or not wearing a seatbelt can quickly add up and result in severe consequences. Our law firm helps clients deal with the complexities of traffic laws and the repercussions of violating them.

Common Types of Traffic Violations

Common types of traffic tickets include:

• Speeding – Exceeding the posted speed limit or driving too fast for road/weather conditions.
• Running Red Lights or Stop Signs – Failing to stop at traffic signals or stop signs, especially at intersections.
• Illegal Turns – Making U-turns or left/right turns where prohibited, or failing to signal properly.
• Distracted Driving – Using a phone to text, call, or browse while driving.
• Driving Without a Valid License or Insurance – Operating a vehicle without proper documentation.
• Expired Registration or Inspection – Driving with out-of-date vehicle tags or inspection stickers.
• Parking Violations – Parking in no-parking zones, handicapped spaces without a permit, or overstaying time limits.
• Failure to Yield – Not giving the right of way when required, often leading to dangerous situations.
• Reckless or Aggressive Driving – Includes tailgating, weaving through traffic, or excessive speeding.

If you find yourself in a position where you’ve received a traffic ticket, it’s worth exploring your legal options. Challenging the ticket or consulting a traffic violations attorney could save you time, money, and long-term hassle.

Consequences Of Traffic Violations

Traffic violations may seem minor, but they can have lasting consequences. Here’s why you should avoid having them on your driving record:

• Employment Impacts: Driving records are often included in background checks. A history of traffic violations could hurt your chances of landing a job that involves driving.
• Higher Insurance Costs: Insurance companies charge more if you’ve had recent tickets. Rates are typically lower for those who have been ticket- and accident-free for at least three years.
• Possible Criminal Charges: Repeated offenses, especially dangerous ones like speeding or running stop signs, can escalate to misdemeanor charges.
• License Suspension: Accumulating multiple traffic tickets, even if they’re not criminal, can lead to a suspended driver’s license.
