North Carolina Traffic Law: Driving School
First, if you have been charged with violating a North Carolina Traffic Law, it is almost always in your best interest to at least speak with an attorney about your case. Attorneys who practice in Traffic Law know, not only the laws surrounding the individual charges, but also how each county handles these types of tickets. Most people do not realize that each county can handle a ticket differently. For example, the charge of Driving While License Revoked North Carolina is handled differently in Wake, Harnett, Durham and Johnston Counties.
After talking it over with an attorney, you must decide whether you want to hire them to take care of your ticket. Though hiring an attorney can seem expensive, in almost all cases, the cost of the attorney will be less then the increase to your insurance premium over the following three years if you were to just pay the ticket off. When talking with the attorney, they made advice you to complete a driving school before they negotiate your ticket with the Assistant District Attorney. It's important to show the Prosecutor that you, the Driver, are taking this charge seriously and want to resolve it to the best of your ability. For some tickets, this won't be necessary, but others it can be necessary. For those charged with a moving violation in Wake County who are under the age of 22, it will be a requisite to complete the 'Alive at 25' class held by the Safety and Health Counsel of North Carolina before the Prosecutor will consider reducing the charges.
In certain instances, if a Driver accumulates enough points against their license, they can take a State certified driving class to reduce the number of points. By doing this, the Driver has taken steps to help off-set the points on their license and reduce the possibility of their driver's license being suspended by the NC DMV.
If you are charged with a traffic infraction or moving violation, speak with a local traffic attorney in your area. If you received a speeding ticket or other moving violation in the Wake County area, speak with Raleigh Speeding Ticket Attorney M. Moseley Matheson about your case.
