Common Violations

Common traffic offenses we defend

Speeding Tickets: A Common Concern

Speeding tickets are one of the most common traffic violations in Louisiana. A speeding ticket can have significant repercussions, whether you were caught by a speed camera or pulled over by a police officer. The fines associated with speeding tickets can be substantial. In addition, accumulating points on your driving record can lead to increased insurance rates.

Additionally, in Covington, Louisiana, fines for speeding vary based on how much over the speed limit you were driving. For example, speeding 1-9 mph over the limit can result in a fine of up to $180. Speeding 10-14 mph over can incur fines up to $200. As the speed increases, so do the fines. Speeding 15-25 mph over can lead to fines reaching $300. Speeding more than 26 mph over the limit can result in even higher fines, ranging from $400 to $500. These fines reflect the severity of the violation and the increased risk to public safety.

Running Red Lights and Reckless Driving

Running a red light is another common traffic offense with significant penalties. In Louisiana, fines for running a red light can cost around $195, depending on the jurisdiction and the specifics of the offense. Beyond the fine, running a red light adds points to your driving record. As a result, this can also impact your insurance rates. Our experienced lawyers can help you contest these violations and reduce their impact on your driving privileges.

For instance, reckless driving is considered a more serious offense and can carry severe penalties. In Louisiana, reckless driving fines can be as high as $240 for a first offense, with the potential for jail time and license suspension. Additional aggravating factors, such as excessive speed or causing an accident, can result in even more severe penalties. Furthermore, our attorneys are skilled in defending against reckless driving charges, working to mitigate the consequences and protect your driving privileges.
