Sometimes a simple traffic
citation for speeding may result in
a license revocation. For
example, pleading responsible to
71/55 and paying the fine will
result in a 30 day mandatory drivers
license revocation. See N. C. Gen.
Stat. Section 20-16.1(a). An
attorney may be able to negotiate a
reduction in the rate of speed
charged by the officer and help you
avoid a drivers license revocation.Mailing a traffic citation back to the Clerk of Court with court costs and fines without hiring an attorney deprives you of the opportunity to save substantial sums of money for auto insurance. For example, a citation for a stop sign violation may be mailed back to the Clerk of Court with the court costs and suggested fine. However, an attorney may be able to persuade a judge to grant a PJC in a case like this. Failing to obtain a PJC in a minor traffic matter like this will result in a 25% premium surcharge in your auto insurance over a three year period. These surcharges are governed by the NC General Statute and set by the NC Rate Bureau. Insurance surcharge table.
