Sterling Heights Michigan Traffic Ticket Attorney:
Did you get a traffic ticket in Sterling Heights Michigan? We can help. As you know we live in a state with a points system, and every point matters. Get too many of these points and they can cause your license to be suspended or revoked. Worse yet the state imposes Driver’s Responsibility fees, i.e. money fines (Drivers with seven points or more on their driving record will receive yearly fee assessments). Once points have been added to your record, they cannot be removed for 2 years. Don’t make the mistake of paying a ticket, if you do your driving record will no longer be clear.That is why you need to take every speeding ticket very seriously, we do.
There is a direct correlation between automobile insurance rates and traffic tickets. Drivers who speed, disobey red lights, or fail to heed other signals or signs on the roadway are statistically more likely to cause damage to people and/or property. Such drivers are the ones most likely to experience automobile insurance increases.
