MOVING VIOLATIONS/POINTS

As you know, most motor vehicle violations carry points that are assessed against your driving record, varying from 2 points (speeding up to 14mph over the limit, going through a stop sign, careless driving, etc.) to 5 points (such as passing a school bus, tailgating and racing on the highway).

For appropriate reasons, the local prosecutor may agree to a plea bargain that reduces the points or, in some cases, eliminates all points. Negotiating with the prosecutor is one of the most important jobs your lawyer can do for you in municipal court.
