The good thing is there’s a knowledgeable Staunton traffic ticket lawyer that you can consult about your options. Attorney Bob Keefer has been practicing traffic law for almost 40 years, with success stories from out-of-state drivers and Northern Virginia residents under his belt.

How Do You Beat a Speeding Ticket in Virginia?

You can opt for a plea deal where the speed is reduced, and you earn fewer demerit points. However, this requires you to plead guilty to the charge, and the demerit points have lasting consequences, including license suspension and increased insurance rates.

Alternatively, you can contest the speeding ticket in court for a dismissal. With the high number of speeding cases courts handle daily, you should make your point fast and provide strong evidence supporting your case. Working with Keefer Law Firm traffic ticket attorneys offers you the best opportunity for reduced charges.

How Many Points is a Speeding Ticket in Staunton?

Driving 5 mph over the set speed limit earns a driver three demerit points. Speeding for 20+ mph over the speed limit and reckless driving earns a driver six demerit points on their license.

How Many Points Does it Take to Lose Your License in VA?

Your driving license may be suspended when you accrue 12 points in one year or 18 points in 2 years. In these situations, you must complete a driver improvement clinic in 90 days to prevent suspension.
