Professional Traffic Ticket Representation: Defending Major Charges Including Distracted Driving, Failing to Move Over, and More


Question: How can I protect myself from the consequences of a major driving offence?

Answer:   It is essential to engage with a knowledgeable professional like DK Legal Practice to assess the situation thoroughly.  Their understanding of the law and courtroom procedures can significantly impact the outcome of your case, potentially preventing hefty fines, increased insurance premiums, and licence suspension.  Taking proactive steps can safeguard your driving record and help mitigate the substantial effects of a major traffic offence.


Providing Strategic Defence Advocacy

Professional Traffic Ticket Representation: Defending Major Charges Including Distracted Driving, Failing to Move Over, and MoreWhen major charges occur, either alone or alongside other charges, concerns for the likelihood of soaring insurance rates arises, and when combined with previous convictions or additional infractions, concern for possible licence suspension due to demerit point accumulation, plus severe fines, also arise. A comprehensive professional evaluation of the facts, the potential outcomes, and the available defence strategies, is highly recommended.

Protecting Against Significant Consequences

Generally, upon conviction for a major traffic offence, a driver is subjected to significant fines and surcharges as well as the likelihood of significantly increased insurance rates for three years.  Depending upon the prior conviction history for the driver, there is also a potential for a licence suspension, among other consequences.

Factors Tending to Aggravate Penalties

The affects of conviction for a major driving offence can be significantly further aggravated:

  • When a driver was previously convicted within the past three years on another charge;
  • When a driver is on the cusp of having accumulated too many demerit points and this latest major charge now puts the driver at risk of a licence suspension, among other penalties; and
  • When a driver is required to maintain a good driving record as a condition of employment.
Conclusion

Traffic tickets of the major charges type pose serious consequences involving substantial fines plus victim surcharges as well as demerit points that may be the straw that breaks the camel's back resulting in a license suspension.  Additionally, a major charge may result in substantially increased insurance rates including the potential for loss of access to standard insurance market and substitute placement into the highly priced Facility Association.

Accordingly, when charged with a major traffic ticket offence, hiring a professional who knows how to question witnesses, especially which questions to ask and which questions to avoid, and who knows the law, knows the paperwork processes and courtroom procedures, and knows how to make judicially persuasive arguments on the applicable legal principles, is highly important.
