Tennessee Criminal Lawyer Blog

Tennessee speeding ticket lawyers know that most people who have been charged with a traffic violation simply pay the fine. These individuals move forward with their lives, not knowing the full impact of paying the speeding ticket or other traffic violation. Whenever you pay a speeding ticket or other traffic violation, you are essentially pleading guilty to the offense. This may hurt your driving record, insurance rates, and ultimately your wallet.

If you drive a company vehicle, your employer may become nervous about lending you the company car. If you dive commercially for a living, a speeding ticket can be devastating. CDL holders should be aware that your license is subject to suspension for sixty days following a conviction of two serious traffic violations within a three year period while driving a Commercial Motor Vehicle. The federal government has really cracked down on commercial drivers, and many people lose their jobs after two serious violations.
