Can a Greensboro Speeding Ticket Attorney Explain Insurance Points?

The short version

Can Greensboro speeding ticket attorney explain insurance points? Yes of course?

Insurance points are confusing, because there are two things that affect a speeding ticket conviction, insurance points and license points. More often than not insurance points are what we are concerned about, as that effects a person’s financial bottom line.

Most speeding points are two points, such as speeding in excess of ten miles per hour, but less than 76 miles per hour or speeding 10 mph or less in excess of 55 mph. But four points apply if speeding in excess of 75 mph in a 70 mph zone or excess of 80 mph when the speed limit is 70 mph or greater.

Illegal passing, following too closely, Hit and Run, and Careless and Reckless driving are all four point offenses.

Accidents can also increase your insurance. If you have been in an accident, contact a Greensboro traffic ticket attorney, we may be able to get the ticket dismissed if the law enforcement officer charges you. A dismissal means that your insurance company cannot raise your insurance!
