Don’t Let a Traffic Ticket Derail Your Future
A traffic ticket can cost more than you think, including several hidden costs. In addition to costly fines and penalties, traffic tickets and violations can lead to increased insurance rates, according to Insurance Information Institute (III). They can also mean:
- Incarceration that separates you from friends and family
- Loss of general or commercial employment opportunities
Repeated tickets and court appearances can lead to income loss when you miss work to appear in court. You can also lose your license, requiring costly alternative transportation options for you and your family. Our traffic violations lawyer will help you fight to limit these potentially damaging consequences in King of Prussia.
Avoid Adding Damaging Points to Your Driving Record
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) employs its points system
to encourage safe driving habits. If you receive a ticket for one of these moving violations, you accumulate points:
- Disobeying traffic signs and signals
- Improper passing on the left or right
- Tailgating or following too closely
- Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
Many other violations can also add points to your driver’s license. Six or more points accumulated over time can lead to:
- A required written point exam
- License suspension for 15 days
- Required road test
When enough points accrue, you could lose your driving privileges for even longer – with 11 points or more, PennDOT could suspend your license for up to a year.
With our team’s support, you can protect your ability to transport yourself and your family by fighting to limit the number of points added to your license. In some cases, you may fit the requirements for having points removed from your record or having a suspension revoked.

Penalties for Certain Traffic Violations
For some, there is a lot at stake if you’re convicted of a traffic crime. Our attorneys aim to reduce or dismiss your charges, defend your rights, and protect you from some of the more severe penalties of a conviction. Here are some of the penalties issued to Pennsylvania residents:
- Driving under the influence (DUI). Per the Pennsylvania DMV (PennDOT), the severity of penalties you face will depend on prior violations and your Blood alcohol content (BAC). Penalties range from 6 months probation and a $300 fine to up to 5 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. You may also face license suspension, mandatory ignition interlock, and more.
- Driving without insurance. PennDOT also has information on penalties for driving uninsured. You could face a minimum $300 fine, license and vehicle registration suspension of up to three months, and fees to restore your driving privileges.
- Fleeing an accident scene. Pennsylvania state law, per Pa. G.A. 75 § 3743(b), mandates a fine of up to $2,500, a term of imprisonment up to one year, or both.
Your attorney can talk with you about other penalties you may be facing for your offense. They can walk you through your rights and the legal process, so you aren’t in the dark about your case.
