Protect Your License and Driving Record
Getting pulled over for speeding is a common occurrence that many people do not take seriously. They assume that paying the ticket will fix everything, not realizing that this is the equivalent of a conviction and will stay on their driving record for at least 36 months.
It is possible to contest a traffic ticket and, in some cases, it is a very good idea. Traffic violations add points to your driver's license; if your license reaches specific point totals, it may be suspended. Reinstating your license is a time consuming and expensive process. To prevent a suspension, contact the Law Offices of Karlstrom & Krebs. Our attorneys provide traffic violation defense as well as DUI defense.

Fighting a Ticket May Save Money in the Long Term
Auto insurance companies keep track of the traffic violation convictions their policyholders receive. They may raise your auto insurance rates after just one speeding ticket. If you continue to receive tickets, they may choose to terminate your coverage.
In addition to paying more for auto insurance, an accumulation of points can also result in a suspended license. Under the California driver's license points system, you will be considered a negligent operator and lose your license if you accumulate:
- Four points in a 12-month period
- Six points in a 24-month period
- Eight points in a 36-month period
License suspension is a serious matter. If you are ticketed for driving with a suspended license, you will receive a two-point violation and face criminal penalties.
