• Texas Traffic Ticket

A traffic ticket in Texas may not have to result in points on the driving record or an insurance increase, and it can provide an incentive for changing unsafe driving behaviors to avoid future tickets. With a defensive driving course the aim is also to decrease the risk of a motor vehicle crash that could result in property damage, injury, or death.

OPTIONS FOR SATISFYING A TRAFFIC TICKET IN TEXAS:

• Attend Traffic School: This option will help you avoid points on your driving record and prevents an insurance rate increase as a result of the ticket.
• Pay Traffic Ticket: Pay the fine without attending traffic school. This option will result in points being added to your driving record.
• Request a Court Date for a hearing before the judge to contest the charge. If the judge finds that you have committed the violation the points will be added to your driving record.

Traffic tickets benefit all road users when they motivate drivers to examine and modify their driving behavior. For example, some drivers exceed the speed limit on a regular basis and consider an occasional speeding ticket the only price they will ever pay for this practice. However, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding was a contributing factor in 31 percent of all fatal crashes in 2007, and speeding-related crashes cost society $40.4 billion per year.
