Why you should fight your Oak Ridge speeding ticket

Why is it important to fight your speeding ticket? Simply paying your fine for an Oak Ridge speeding ticket means that you agree that you are “guilty” of the charge. Being convicted of, or found guilty of a speeding ticket can have serious consequences. There are at least four (4) major reasons to fight an Oak Ridge speeding ticket.

First, fight your Oak Ridge speeding ticket to avoid paying a fine

If you are guilty, you must pay a monetary fine. Depending on the Oak Ridge speeding ticket involved, the fine could be several hundred dollars. Hiring Todd E. Tkach to fight your speeding ticket could result in a dismissal of the charges. In that event, you don’t have to pay any fine!

Second, fight your Oak Ridge speeding ticket to avoid points on your driving record

The State of Texas has a Point System that affects your right to hold and maintain a Texas driver’s license. You are charged Points against your driving record if you are convicted of certain Oak Ridge speeding tickets. The number of Points charged varies depending on the type of speeding ticket you are given, but ranges from one (1) to six (6) points. A Texas driver gets 2 points for most traffic violation convictions (3 points if a crash is involved). Points remain on a driver’s record for 3 years. Accumulating points on your driving record can result in huge “surcharges” assessed by the Texas Department of Public Safety and a possible driver’s license suspension. Accumulating twenty-one (21) points in any three (3) year period will result in a suspension of your driver’s license. If that happens, you cannot legally drive an automobile in Texas.
