Traffic & Minor Offenses FAQ
Should I fight my traffic ticket?
Fighting a traffic ticket can be beneficial if it means avoiding points on your driving record, preventing insurance rate increases, or reducing fines. Some tickets can be dismissed if there is evidence of an error, such as a faulty speed radar or incorrect citation details. Other times, negotiating for a lesser charge can be a smart option. I help clients assess their case and determine the best course of action.
Can a traffic violation affect my driver’s license?
Yes, traffic violations accumulate points on your Kansas driver’s license, and too many points can result in a suspension. For example, excessive speeding, reckless driving, or multiple violations within a short period can lead to harsher penalties. Addressing tickets quickly and strategically can prevent long-term consequences.
What is expungement, and can I clear a past offense?
Expungement is a legal process that removes certain offenses from your record, making them invisible to most background checks. Minor traffic violations typically remain on a driving record for a few years, but some misdemeanors and other minor offenses can be expunged after a certain period. Expungement helps individuals move forward without past mistakes affecting employment or insurance. I assist clients in determining if they are eligible and handling the necessary legal steps.
What happens if I ignore a traffic ticket?
Ignoring a traffic ticket can lead to increased fines, suspension of your license, or even a warrant for your arrest in severe cases. If a ticket is not paid or addressed within the required time frame, penalties can escalate, making it much harder to resolve. If you have an outstanding ticket or missed a court date, I can help you take the right steps to avoid further legal trouble.
Can I lose my license over unpaid tickets?
Yes, unpaid tickets can result in a suspended license. Kansas law allows the state to suspend driving privileges for individuals who fail to pay fines or accumulate too many violations. If your license is suspended, you may have to pay reinstatement fees and meet specific legal requirements before regaining driving privileges. Resolving tickets promptly can prevent these issues.
