What are the Consequences of a Traffic Offense?

Being charged with a serious traffic offense can be stressful and have lasting effects on your life. In addition to any criminal penalties you may face, such as time in jail or legal fines, you may find that your ability to drive is at risk.

Many traffic offense convictions may lead to the revocation or suspension of your license. Additionally, receiving a ticket can lead to points on your license and your insurance cost going up.

How Are Points Added to Driving Records?

The California DMV assigns points to your license if you violate a traffic law. Accumulating a certain number of points within a given timeframe will result in the agency classifying you as a negligent operator and will suspend or revoke your driving privileges.

A Class C driver is categorized as a negligent operator if they accumulate points as follows:

4 or more points in 1 year
6 points or more in 2 years, or
8 points or more in 3 years

Class A and B drivers are allowed 2 additional points per period; however, a traffic violation committed by these license holders while driving a commercial vehicle results in 1½ times more points than a Class C driver.

For minors, their driver’s license could be restricted if they accumulate 2 points in 1 year, or it could be suspended if they accumulate 3 points in 1 year.

Various traffic offenses lead to different point assessments. A few are as follows:

Disobeying a traffic officer or firefighter: 1 point
Loading a vehicle unsafely: 1 point
Exceeding the posted speed limit: 1 point
Failing to stop for a school bus: 1 point
Drinking alcohol while driving: 1 point
Following too closely: 1 point
Driving recklessly: 2 points
Driving on the wrong side of the road: 2 points
Participating in street racing: 2 points
Driving under the influence and causing bodily injury or death: 2 points

How Long Do Points Stay on Driving Records?

The severity of the traffic offense determines how long a point will stay on your driver’s license. In general, points remain for 3 years, 3 months. However, it can be up to 13 years before a point drops from your record for more serious offenses, such as DUI.

We offer representation for the following common traffic offenses:

Reckless driving
Driving without a license
Driving on a suspended license
Fleeing a crime scene
Eluding the police
Speeding
DUI
