The True Cost of a Traffic Violation

The fine you pay represents only part of the financial impact. Traffic violations add points to your driving record, which can trigger insurance premium increases. For professional drivers, even minor infractions threaten job security. A reliable speeding ticket lawyer helps minimize these long-term consequences.

Understanding the Pennsylvania Driver’s Point System

According to Pennsylvania’s official driver’s point system, even minor violations can accumulate and lead to serious consequences for your license. Common violations and their point values include:

  • Speeding (6-10 mph over): 2 points
  • Speeding (11-15 mph over): 3 points
  • Speeding (16-25 mph over): 4 points
  • Careless driving: 3 points
  • Failure to stop at a red light: 3 points
  • Tailgating: 3 points

Accumulating six points within two years requires a written exam, and 11 points or more results in license suspension.

A Full-Service Traffic Defense Attorney

Johnson Duffie’s comprehensive criminal defense experience extends to traffic violation cases.

Speeding and Moving Violations

We challenge radar accuracy, examine officer testimony, and negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges. Your traffic ticket lawyer helps keep violations off your record or minimizes point assessments.

CDL Ticket Defense for Professional Drivers

Commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders face stricter standards and harsher penalties. Our attorneys have deep familiarity with strict federal motor carrier regulations and how they apply to professional drivers in Pennsylvania. A CDL ticket lawyer aggressively defends against violations that could end your driving career, including out-of-service orders and disqualifications.

License Suspension Hearings

When PennDOT threatens suspension, you have limited time to respond. A license suspension lawyer represents you at hearings, presents evidence supporting your case, and fights to preserve your driving privileges.

Is It Worth Hiring a Traffic Lawyer in PA?

A single speeding violation might cost $150 in fines but thousands in increased insurance premiums. For CDL holders, the stakes are even higher, as losing your license means losing your livelihood. Legal representation from an experienced CDL defense attorney often costs less than the long-term financial damage of a conviction.
