If you’ve been pulled over in Morganton, NC, you may wonder if there’s any point in going to court. Remember that not only will you pay a fine; you will likely also find that your insurance rate goes up by at least 30%.
Points will also be added to your license which may endanger your ability to drive. Many people also make the mistake of simply ignoring the citation which will increase the fines and result in a license suspension.
According to WRAL TV in Raleigh, there are currently “close to 1 million drivers in NC with their license currently suspended”. Driving with a suspended license can lead to new charges and even higher fines and insurance rates, not to mention the possibility of being incarcerated.
Hiring an attorney to reduce the initial citation at the outset can save potentially thousands of dollars in insurance rates and fines. Another added benefit is that for traffic infractions your attorney can generally appear in court on your behalf with a signed waiver. This may mean that you can avoid missing a day of work.
