NEW HAVEN SPEEDING TICKETS ATTORNEYS

DEALING WITH A CONNECTICUT SPEEDING TICKET

It can certainly cause a bump on your weekend trip to the Connecticut Shoreline: a speeding ticket from a police officer who is filling his or her quota of traffic citations at your expense. You are probably wondering the best way to deal with the situation.

One option is to pay it. However, paying a traffic ticket will add points to your driving record. Those points can have unforeseen consequences. You may notice a steep hike in the amount you pay for insurance. If you get another ticket, you may accumulate enough points to result in the suspension of your driver’s license.

Another option is to ignore the ticket and hope it will go away. This may be tempting if you are from out of state. Unfortunately, speeding tickets do not go away. Most states (and all states on the East Coast) have a reciprocity agreement for enforcement of traffic tickets. While no one is going to extradite you over nonpayment of a speeding ticket, your home state can fine you or suspend your driver’s license for a ticket you received in Connecticut.

MINIMIZING THE CONSEQUENCES OF A SPEEDING TICKET

The LoRicco Law Firm offers a free initial consultation to discuss how we can help you deal with a speeding or any other type of traffic ticket. In many cases, we can negotiate a reduction to a lesser traffic offense that would not result in points on your driver’s license. A traffic offense that carries no points will not affect your insurance rates or driver’s license. Unless you were charged with a criminal traffic offense, such as reckless driving, our attorneys can appear in court for you, so you will not have to miss work to travel back to Connecticut.

Contact our office to discuss your speeding ticket with an experienced traffic ticket defense lawyer. We represent out-of-state clients and Connecticut residents who are charged with traffic offenses in New Haven and Connecticut Shoreline communities.
