3 Speeding Tickets

[Nickj119]

What is the name of your state? Wisconsin

Hello everyone,

A couple of months ago I was issued a speeding ticket for going 61 in a 40. I was unaware that the speed limit was 40, but I still accepted the ticket, as I had no choice.

Total estimated points: 6

A couple of days ago, I was issued a speeding ticket for going 59 in a 45, which was my fault exactly. I was speeding carelessly.

Total estimated points: 4

A few minutes ago, I was issued a speeding ticket for going 83 in a 65. I was racing, I will not deny it.

Total estimated points: 4

That is a total of 14 points. 12 points and you lose your liscense.

Any ideas on what I should do to lower my points?

Thanks,

Nick

No, you obviously don't deserve your license, so I'd prefer to keep you off the road.

How many points do I have left?
If you accumulate 12 or more demerit points in any 12-month period, a suspension will result. Individuals with a clear driving record have 0 points. Points are assessed for moving traffic convictions based on the violation offense date. When determining points, be sure to include any pending citations or convictions which do not yet appear on your record.

I have tickets pending. How will this affect my driving record?
The violation date (not conviction date) determines whether you have accumulated 12 or more points in any 12-month period. If you are convicted of any pending violations the points will be counted based on the date of violation. If your conviction(s) result in the accumulation of 12 or more demerit points for violations within any 12-month period, a suspension will result. The suspension of your operating privilege will begin on the date the order of suspension is mailed from WisDOT's Division of Motor Vehicles.

Is there a way to reduce my points?
If you have completed an approved Traffic Safety course, you can request a 3-point reduction of your demerit point total. The point reduction must be claimed before the accumulation of 12 or more points in any 12-month period. No point reduction is permitted if you have already accumulated 12 or more points, which resulted in a suspension of your driving privilege. You can also request a 3-point reduction upon completion of a motorcycle rider course. (This point reduction only applies to violations and convictions incurred while operating a motorcycle.)

Courses can be taken as often as you wish, however, you can receive only one point reduction every 5 years.

Can I take a traffic safety course after I'm suspended for accumulating 12 or more points?
Yes, but no point reduction would be permitted and the suspension would stand. A reduction of up to 3 points would be applied after reinstatement of the operating privilege if points exist.

THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO AT THIS POINT IS GET AN ATTORNEY WHO GETS THE TICKETS DISMISSED, OR REDUCED TO 0 POINT VIOLATIONS.
