Interview Transcript
Scott Michael Dunn: Well, relating that, so how do you get out of a traffic ticket?
Chris Combs: There’s multiple different ways. A lot of times, it’s our relationships with prosecutors and things like that. If your driving record’s clean, that’s important. Now, if I show up with a driving record where you just paid the fine three times, you’ve got three convictions on there, that’s going to be a little bit harder to work with.
That’s when we have our clients get into mitigation. Sometimes we’ll have them do driving school, in-person driving school. With these higher speed tickets that are classified as B misdemeanors, we’ll have them do a two-hour online class called Victim Impact Panel.
A lot of people think it’s just for drunk driving – it’s Mothers Against Drunk Driving – but it talks about people who’ve lost loved ones to both DWI, accidents, and high-speed crashes. So mitigation can be important. Community service, things like that. You always want to do everything you can to keep points off your driving record.
