When Life Gets Bent...
BETTER CALL TRENT!
Myrtle Beach Speeding Tickets Defense Attorney
Arrested for a speeding ticket in South Carolina, you can receive up to 6 moving violation points for driving 25 miles per hour above the posted speed limit. On a 12-point driving point system, that can mean that you are already halfway to having your license suspended for up to 1-year. If you are a North Carolina resident, you can have your license suspended for up to 30 days for driving just 15 miles over the speed limit.
If you are visiting the area and receive a speeding ticket that requires a court appearance, we will represent you in court, so you don't have to make a return trip.
Chambers Law believes the penalties for speeding are worth an aggressive defense, especially when you consider that your driver's license may be at stake and your insurance premiums will go up. Trent is a former traffic court prosecutor who understands the importance of a good defense in the courtroom. If you have been charged with speeding in Horry, Georgetown, Marion, or Florence counties call us today at 843-449-0420.
Based on a 12-point system:
-
<10 mph over the limit: 2-point violation
-
10 24 mph over the limit: 4-point violation
-
+25 mph over the limit: 6-point violation and reckless driving charge
What does the traffic violation point system mean?
All states have some form of a point system for moving violations. The system works on the principle that after accumulation of a certain number of points, a person's driver's license can be revoked or suspended. For visitors from out of state, points are transferred to your home state, if your state is a member of the Non-Resident Motorist Violators Compact. Perhaps just as importantly to first-time offenders, points received often affect your driver's insurance premiums.
If you have been stopped for a traffic violation, you may wonder why hiring an attorney to defend you is important. Many people simply pay the fine. Depending upon your past driving record, paying the fine may be the most cost effective thing to do. But if you are concerned that points against your license will be costly, contact Chambers Laws. We can help save you time, money, and a possible suspended license.
Don't waste time standing in line or sitting through court, if you need a traffic violation or speeding ticket attorney in the Myrtle Beach area call the Chambers Law Firm today.
