Fight Traffic Tickets Today
Even if you have a strong understanding of Pennsylvania law, you may still find yourself facing a parking or traffic ticket. The police themselves have a hard time keeping track of which laws people break and which things they do on the road are illegal under the law. You might not know that when you receive a ticket, you have the right to fight back in court. Doing so can reduce the amount you owe or get the ticket thrown out. Lawyers in Pennsylvania can help you with a wide range of tickets.
Types of Tickets
One of the most common types of traffic tickets in the state is a simple speeding ticket. If you go even one mile above the posted speed limit, you risk going home with a ticket. Though some people swear that they can drive five miles or less over the speed limit without getting a ticket, police officers can still ticket them. You can also get a ticket from driving with one headlight or one taillight out. Even if you didn’t know that one of the lights on your car are out, you may still receive a ticket.
Dangers of Traffic Tickets
Pennsylvania uses a points system, which means that every ticket you get might add one or more points to your record. When you reach a certain number of points, the state can take drastic measures. You might find that the state suspends your license for a period of time or suspends your ability to register a vehicle in the state. If police catch you driving under the influence, you may even face some steep fines or drive with an ignition interlock device on your car. Depending on the number of points you have on your license and your driving record, you may also find that your insurance rates go up.

Working with a good attorney is the best way to keep those points from appearing on your record. The Law Offices of Eugene Gitman can help you with any type of ticket you face.
