Mobile Alabama Traffic Violation Defense Attorney
Getting a traffic citation is such a routine part of driving that many people think it's best to just pay the fine and avoid the bother of fighting it in court. But as many drivers have found, that's not always the best move to make. Law enforcement officers can make mistakes; getting a ticket doesn't mean you're guilty. And because paying a traffic ticket in Alabama means getting points on your license, your driver's license can be suspended after just a few tickets.
Tim Fleming can help. He is an experienced Alabama criminal defense lawyer with extensive experience in DUI defense and other traffic violations. He defends clients in Mobile and throughout Alabama who want to fight their tickets for:
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Failure to yield
- Driving on the wrong side of the road
- Passing a school bus with red lights flashing
- Illegal passing or lane change
- Tailgating
- Running a red light, stop sign or other traffic signal
- Equipment violations (broken or missing light, missing license plate, over-tinted windows, no registration)
- Driving without insurance
- Driving with a suspended or revoked license
Why Fight a Traffic Ticket in Alabama?
All of these traffic tickets carry fines of $50 to several hundred dollars -- but that's just the beginning of the costs of a citation. The State of Alabama's Department of Public Safety also puts two to six points on your license each time you plead guilty to traffic violations -- and paying a ticket is considered pleading guilty. After you accumulate 12 to 14 points within two years, your license will be automatically suspended for 60 days. Higher numbers of points within the same two-year period can get your license suspended longer, for up to one year.Losing a driver's license isn't just an inconvenience for many people; it's a radical lifestyle change that can cost them jobs, cause trouble at home and interfere with their personal lives. Reinstating it when the time is up is a bureaucratic hassle that costs $100 to $300. And whether you lose your license or not, points on your license will cost you when it's time to renew your auto insurance. Insurance companies remember the points on your license no matter how long ago you got them, so enough points can cause your insurance bills to skyrocket.
