Arizona Criminal Speeding Ticket Defense
Speeding in Arizona falls under two categories:
Civil speeding violation: 1 to 20 mph over the posted speed limit
Criminal speeding: 21 mph over the limit or any speed in excess of 85 mph
Both offenses are punishable by fines, and pleading guilty adds three points against your driver’s license. If you accumulate 8 to 12 points in one year from traffic violations, you may be required to attend MVD Traffic Survival School classes. If you accumulate 13 to 17 points in one year, your license can be suspended for 90 days. If you accumulate 18-23 points in one year, you may receive a suspension of six months. If you should accumulate 24 or more points in three years, you may receive a one-year suspension. Your insurance company can request your driving record at any time and raise your rates for traffic violations.
In many cases, we are able to plead a criminal speeding ticket down to a civil offense. Under a civil speeding violation, you may be able to attend Defensive Driving School and eliminate points against your license. A criminal speeding conviction is not eligible.
We have also helped many clients fight criminal speeding tickets to have the charges dismissed. We can discuss with you the various grounds for challenging a criminal speeding violation.
