Traffic Offenses FAQ

A speeding ticket or seat belt violation can lead to much more serious consequences. If you have been ticketed or arrested for a traffic offense, we can help.

It’s a hassle to get a traffic ticket and you may be tempted to ignore it and hope it just goes away. This is not the way traffic offense law works in Tampa Bay. Traffic offenses can follow you for decades, staying on your record and ruining your livelihood – and your life.

If you allow traffic offenses to build up, things will only get worse for you. You run the risk of owing compounded fees that can grow quite large and increasing your insurance costs substantially. You may even lose your driver’s license because your license can be revoked until you deal with your previous offenses. Jail time is a serious possibility, too.

The state of Florida has three levels of traffic offenses:

• Infractions – An infraction is typically a minor violation, like getting a ticket for parking in the wrong spot.
• Misdemeanors – Many people don’t realize that a misdemeanor is more serious and can lead to jail time. For example, reckless driving can be either a misdemeanor or a felony, eligible for three to six months in jail.
• Felonies – A felony is severe and can sometimes involve a long prison sentence.

Instead of allowing these kinds of driving issues to continue to impact your life, contact a Tampa Bay traffic offense lawyer who can help you clear everything up. At Kemp Law, we provide the legal assistance you need to sort out your driving history and minimize future consequences.

How serious is a traffic ticket?

If you get a traffic ticket in Tampa Bay or anywhere in the state of Florida, you might want to forget about it and figure it’s no big deal. But tickets can actually be quite serious if you fail to pay them or let additional tickets accumulate. Your license may be suspended or revoked, impacting your ability to drive, to get to work and to live your life.

Could I really go to jail for a traffic offense?

Yes. People go to jail for traffic-related offenses every day in our state. For example, if you have three or more offenses within a five-year period, a judge may classify you as a Florida habitual traffic offender, which makes you eligible for jail time. You’ll need expert legal representation to plead your case.

How will a Tampa Bay traffic offense lawyer help me?

Your traffic offense lawyer will help you establish what kinds of traffic offenses you have in your history, what kinds of penalties you may owe and whether you’re facing jail time. Your lawyer adds clarity to the situation and helps you figure out what to do next, which is a big relief. They may also be able to help you reduce your charges and avoid going to jail.

Do I have to pay money up front?
