Penalties for Speeding Ticket Conviction

Even minor traffic offenses, such as speeding can have a lasting impact on your criminal record. All uncontested moving violations result in a misdemeanor conviction on your criminal record. In addition, you may face additional consequences:

• First offense speeding: Generally, first time speed law offenders receive a fine up to $100 and two points assessed to their driving record. However, additional points will be assessed depending on the type of speeding violation.
• Second offense speeding: Second offense speeding tickets can result in a fine of up to $200 and up to 30 days in jail. Point allocation also applies.
• Subsequent offense speeding: Receiving three speeding tickets or more within a one year time period will result in strict consequences-up to a $500 fine, up to three months in jail, and point allocation.

In Alabama, your driver's license can be suspended after an accumulation of 12-24 points in a two year period. While basic speeding violations may have a point value of only 2 points, if you already have accrued points on your record for parking violations or other traffic tickets, you may be facing license suspension for up to a year. In addition, offenses such as excessive speeding or speeding in a construction zone will have enhanced point valuations.
