Traffic Offenses

People issued a driver’s license by NC DMV are well aware of “points” for getting a ticket.

Increased insurance premiums are something they hammer on during “drivers ed.” And of course, nothing speaks louder seeing your rates increase after a ticket.

At the same time, some tickets in North Carolina may affect your insurance, while other citations and “infractions” may have little to no effect.

Why are some speeding tickets and citations considered a “moving violation” and others aren’t?

If you don’t know the difference between an insurance point and NC DMV motor vehicle point, it’s probably a good idea to talk to one of our traffic lawyers and discuss your options.

"The Safe Driver Incentive Plan can be incredibly complex. Before doing anything, especially before paying off a ticket, we recommend you call us."

Are you facing a moving violation or non-moving violation charge in Cumberland or Hoke county?

Traffic offenses vary in severity and consequences.

Non-moving violations like the failure to wear a seatbelt, or not having a properly registered vehicle will result in fines and fees.

On the other hand, other traffic offenses for careless driving, Driving While Impaired (DWI), passing a school bus and other traffic tickets carry serious consequences from NC DMV and your insurance carrier.
