Queens Moving Violation Lawyer

Getting a so-called “moving violation” can mean a lot of things, but it always means your drivers license is under threat. To avoid fines and other consequences, reach out to a Queens moving violation attorney.

After a traffic ticket, your first response may be to just pay the ticket and move on, even if it is expensive. It may seem easier to plead guilty, but that will cost you in the long run. Traffic violations add up, and you could end up with more fines or even a suspended license if you don’t fight back.

When you’re dealing with a traffic ticket, you need to act fast to avoid fines and contest the ticket. With a Queens moving violation lawyer on your side, you can get the speedy help you need to keep points off your license and avoid paying fines. At the Law Office of James Medows, we’re committed to helping you beat that ticket.

Types of Moving Violations in Queens

A moving violation typically covers any sort of illegal traffic behavior that might happen in a moving car. These tickets come from many types of activities, such as the following:

• Speeding
• Cell phone use
• Disobeying stop or yield signs and lights
• Tailgating

If you’re convicted, any of these can put points on your license. Tailgating, for example, will add four points to your license, while speeding points can range from three to eleven. These points are totaled on your license. If the number of points reaches eleven, however, your license will be suspended.

If you are pulled over and given a Queens moving violation for any of these offenses, or if you are caught by camera, you do have the chance to act. Doing so can save you time and money in the future.

Points Can Negatively Affect You

If you simply plead guilty and don’t fight your traffic ticket, you will have to pay more than the fine. The long-term results of a traffic violation, especially a serious one, can add up quickly. If you don’t fight your moving violation in Queens, you could see long-term costs like the following:

• Higher Insurance Premiums – Your insurer will notice your infractions and fines, and your premiums may be much higher. Any violations in the past eighteen months are likely to raise these premiums.
• Suspension of Your License – If you have eleven points on your license, it will be suspended, which comes with several expenses. Having your license renewed will require you to pay another fee separate from your tickets.
• Fees and Transportation Costs – Public transportation, taxi services, or the time it takes to walk will take their toll on your wallet and your daily life.
