A traffic ticket is a constant possibility for parents of teenagers. This may result in an increase in insurance premiums or the requirement to pay the associated traffic ticket fines. If your child is issued a ticket, what options are available to you?
Miami, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/12/2023 --Usually, the default option is to pay a fine, especially when the infraction is a moving violation. This could result in points on the driver's license and a higher insurance premium. If the violation is non-moving, it makes more sense to pay the ticket. The fines are modest, and driver's license points are rarely added.
Parents may also have the option of paying the fine and enrolling the teen in traffic school. This option will also prevent the addition of points to a driver's record. Traffic school teaches essential safe driving skills, but attendance is time-consuming and costly.
Another alternative to consider is contesting the traffic ticket. The teen's driving record will not be affected if the ticket is dismissed after a successful appeal. If you wish to contest a traffic ticket, such as a speeding ticket, contact a Miami traffic attorney at Hochman & Goldin, P.A.
