TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS

Fighting for Your Driving Record and Your Rights

Speeding tickets. License suspensions. Reckless driving. In North Carolina, traffic violations can carry more than just fines—they can impact your license, your job, and your insurance premiums. At Perry & Waters, LLP, we help clients resolve traffic citations and protect their driving privileges.

Local Traffic Defense for Henderson, Oxford & Beyond

North Carolina’s point system can quickly result in license suspensions, insurance rate hikes, or loss of commercial driving privileges. We fight to reduce or eliminate penalties through negotiation, dismissal motions, or trial, depending on your situation.

  • Can I get out of a speeding ticket in NC?

    It depends. We often negotiate for a reduced offense (like improper equipment) to avoid license points or insurance hikes.

  • What if I missed my court date for a traffic ticket?

    A missed court date can result in a license suspension. Contact us immediately—we can often file to reopen the case and avoid further penalties.

  • I drive for work. Can I keep my CDL after a violation?

    Possibly. Certain violations put your CDL at risk. We work to protect commercial drivers from disqualifying offenses.

  • How many points before my license is suspended?

    Accumulating 12+ points within a 3-year period can lead to a suspension. We aim to keep your record as clean as possible.
