Blacksburg Attorney Ready To Handle Your Traffic Ticket Violations
A traffic ticket might seem like a small problem, but in Virginia, it can have serious long-term consequences. Beyond fines and court costs, a violation can mean demerit points on your license, higher insurance premiums or even suspension of your driving privileges. If you hold a commercial driver’s license, the stakes are even higher.
At Spicer, Olin & Associates, P.C., our traffic ticket attorney provides experienced, strategic defense to drivers across Blacksburg and the New River Valley. Whether you’re facing a basic speeding ticket or a reckless driving charge, we can help protect your driving record and minimize the consequences.
Why Fighting A Traffic Ticket Matters
Even a single traffic violation can follow you for years. Virginia’s point system assigns demerit points for moving violations, and once you accumulate too many, your license could be suspended. Some offenses can even result in criminal charges.
Our firm represents clients facing a range of serious traffic violations, including:
- Reckless driving, which is a criminal misdemeanor offense in Virginia
- Speeding, including in work zones and school zones
- Failure to maintain control of the vehicle, often cited in crash reports
- Failure to stop at a stop sign or running a red light
- Failure to stop for a school bus, which carries enhanced penalties
- Not yielding to emergency vehicles, including violations under the new Virginia law requiring drivers to move over for vehicles with flashing lights
- Driving on a suspended license or without valid insurance
- Commercial driver violations that threaten your license and livelihood
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
We focus on the violations that carry real consequences. We handle not just fines, but points, increased insurance premiums and the risk of losing your license.
Strategic Defense For Every Driver
Whether you’re a student, commuter or professional driver, we tailor your defense based on the nature of your ticket, your driving history and your goals. Our services include:
- Traffic court representation for both minor and major violations
- DMV point reduction strategies, including driver improvement programs
- Speeding ticket defense and plea bargaining for reduced charges
- License suspension defense, especially for repeat offenses
- Traffic ticket dismissal, when procedural issues or a lack of evidence support it
Our attorney is skilled in trial strategy, negotiation and pretrial motions. We aim to protect your record, save you time and help you avoid unnecessary penalties – including higher insurance costs and loss of driving privileges.
What You Should Know About Virginia Traffic Violations
Understanding how traffic law works can make a big difference in how you respond to a ticket. Here are answers to some common concerns:
What happens if I ignore a traffic ticket in Virginia?
Ignoring a traffic ticket can lead to a suspended license, additional fines and even a warrant for your arrest. The sooner you address the ticket, the better your chances of reducing the impact.
How many points can I get on my license in Virginia before it’s suspended?
The Virginia DMV can suspend your license if you accumulate 18 demerit points in 12 months or 24 points in 24 months. Serious violations can add six points at once. Defensive driving courses may help offset some points.
How can a lawyer help me get my speeding ticket reduced or dismissed?
A traffic ticket attorney can analyze the evidence, identify weaknesses in the case, negotiate a reduced charge or push for dismissal. If necessary, we’ll challenge the ticket at trial through officer cross-examination, evidence review or procedural defenses.
