FAQs

Should I just pay the traffic ticket?

Paying a traffic ticket may seem like the easiest option, but it is the same as pleading guilty to the violation. This results in a conviction on your driving record, which can lead to:

  • Court costs and fines

  • Increased insurance rates

  • Points on your license

  • More severe penalties for future violations

Will a traffic ticket affect my Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)?

Yes. Any traffic violation can put your CDL and career at risk. Unlike regular drivers, CDL holders cannot attend traffic school or defensive driving courses to get a ticket dismissed. Certain violations can lead to:

  • CDL suspension or revocation

  • Increased insurance costs

  • Job loss or difficulty finding employment
