dangers in just paying a traffic ticket part one

Why not just pay? This is the question that I'm faced with on a daily basis. When someone gets a traffic citation, there is a fine for any infraction one receives. Many people, including my closest friends, think why hire an attorney when I could just pay the ticket for a little less than what an attorney would cost. The answer is very simple and can be summed up in one word…..POINTS!

Points, even just a few, can hurt you in more ways than one. There are two negative affects that points can have on your life and wallet. I will discuss one and the second later.

1. If you receive too many points, your license can be suspended. If you are caught driving while your license is suspended, you will be charged with "Driving While License Suspended", which is a misdemeanor offense. Simple put, you are now being charged with a criminal offense. The cost of an attorney is so much more when he or she is defending a criminal charge as opposed to a simple infraction.
