Scott Michael Dunn: That kind of boils down to the why. The why – why should I hire a traffic lawyer?
Andrew Russek: Tickets can have a lot of consequences. Even smaller speedings, 11 to 15, that’s going to A. Put points on your license, and it’s technically a criminal conviction once you start getting a little bit higher in speeding. They are C misdemeanors, B misdemeanors, and even some traffic tickets are A misdemeanors, which is equivalent to assault.
So not only may you end up with something on your criminal record without understanding it, you may put points on your license, which could result in a license suspension. Your insurance premiums are going to go up, and those kinds of things.
Again, a judge doesn’t have to tell you that. He’s going to tell you it’s a $250 fine, which sounds great in the moment, and then six months down the road, you get another ticket, and your license is suspended.
Scott Michael Dunn: It seems like costs just keep going up.
