For the first time in my life, I got a ticket for speeding. Q ; I was pulled over by police for driving 80 mph on a 65 mph highway. (I was shaking as if I had committed some kind of mortal sin. I was so scared ㅠㅠ)
I saw an advertisement for a lawyer and it said they would eliminate demerit points. I'm curious what that means. A ; There are a lot of police in Vegas. I can count on one hand the days I haven't encountered a police car while driving.
When the police roar behind you and turn on their sirens, anyone is bound to get scared. Don't panic, just put both hands on the steering wheel and calmly follow the instructions.
For speed tickets, 1 point for going 10 miles over, 3 points for going 21 to 30 miles, Starting at mile 31, 4 points are charged. For school zone violations or reckless driving, much higher penalty points are imposed.
Also, if you violate a stop sign at an intersection or drive closely behind, In particular, using a cell phone while driving will result in 4 penalty points. If you accumulate more than 12 demerit points in a year, your license will be suspended for 6 months.
In the United States, where it is difficult to live without a car, having your license suspended is a joke and a death sentence. Are you worried because you have a lot of penalty points?
Even if it is your first time, we recommend that you consult with a lawyer if you want to remove the star rating. There are no attorney fees, so you don't have to worry about money. For example, in the case of Justice Court among several courts in Vegas,
If there are no other violations within 3 years, it is possible to exchange it for a cheaper parking ticket. However, you must pay a fine. Some say that fines will be reduced if you go to the court, but you may be charged more.
We recommend that you just pay online. If the amount is burdensome, you can also apply for a payment plan. No matter how courageous Koreans have a unique temperament, There is nothing to gain in life from getting a ticket from an American police officer.
Please drive carefully and safely.
