Traffic violations range from minor infractions to serious offenses. Understanding your rights and options can help you make the best decisions.
Your Rights During a Traffic Stop
You have the right to remain silent beyond providing your license, registration, and insurance. You have the right to refuse a vehicle search (though there are exceptions).
Types of Traffic Violations
Your Options
When you receive a traffic ticket, you generally have three options: pay the fine (which admits guilt), attend traffic school (which may prevent points on your license), or contest the ticket in court.
Points and Insurance
Traffic violations can add points to your driving record, which can increase your insurance premiums significantly.
