Alabama Traffic Tickets Are Criminal Offenses: Here’s What That Means for You

Many drivers don’t realize that in Alabama, traffic violations are criminal misdemeanors and not just minor infractions. § 32-5A-8 of the Alabama Code of 1975 states the following: “Violations as misdemeanor; penalties. (a) It is a misdemeanor for any person to violate any of the provisions of this chapter or of Title 32, unless such violation is by this chapter or other law of this state declared to be a felony.”

This means:

  • Your case will be on the same court docket as reckless driving, attempting to elude, DUI charges and other Alabama misdemeanor traffic violations.
  • Your Alabama Traffic Ticket or Speeding Ticket is not a civil violation like some other states.
  • Failure to appear in court can result in an arrest warrant and license suspension.
  • Unlike in some states, paying a ticket is a conviction, which stays on your record.

You don’t have to fight this alone. We can handle every step of the process and fight for the best possible outcome. We aren’t the cheapest traffic ticket lawyer but we are very fair and will discuss the traffic ticket lawyer cost with you.

Reviews

My son got a ticket in Alabama. His license is from Ga. We paid the ticket but somehow his license was suspended. Ga never notified us. We found out that his license was suspended when he was stopped while in college in Kansas. Such drama! Spoke with Mr Kreps, hired him and the next day his license was reinstated. I am beyond happy. Thank you so much for helping us!

Vanessa, Avvo Review
I hired Kreps Law Firm to keep a speeding ticket I received while passing thru Alabama off my record, and they delivered. My 84mph in a 60 was dismissed. I did have to attend defensive driving school, which was painful but worth it. My overall experience with Kreps was straightforward and painless.
Eric, Avvo Review
I must admit my consultation sounded too good to be true on on my speeding ticket case, but Joseph Krep’s team put their experience and knowledge about court systems and jurisdictions to have a favorable outcome for me.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you are ticketed for speeding, your ticket should have the fine amount printed right on it. Keep in mind that you’ll also have to pay surcharges on top of the initial fine. In Decatur, for example, the fine for speeding by under 25 mph over the limit is $20, plus $195 in additional costs, for a total of $215.

The exact number of “points” for any traffic violation are established under the Alabama Administrative Code, Rule 760-X-1-.07. The points range from two points for simple speeding (speed violation less than 26 m.p.h. over the posted limit) up to six points for reckless driving.

No, signing a traffic ticket does not mean you are admitting guilt of any traffic violation. When you sign a ticket or a citation you are just agreeing to pay the ticket or appear in court, if you decide to dispute it. If you refuse to sign the ticket, an officer can arrest you on the spot.

If a vehicle is in motion when the transgression occurs, it is deemed a moving violation. This includes speeding, running a stop sign or red light, reckless driving, drunk driving (DUI/DWI), racing, and eluding an officer. The majority of moving violations are misdemeanors.

Speeding tickets may increase the amount you pay for car insurance. Speeding tickets are considered part of your driving record.  The perception that you’re at higher risk of an accident because of traffic violations on your driving record may affect the cost of your insurance.

Penalties for first-time violators in Alabama can be fined up to $100 and receive up to 10 days of jail time. If you have been charged with reckless driving in Alabama the penalties are more severe. You can be fined up to $500, sentenced up to 90 days in jail, and have your license suspended.

Any time you get a traffic ticket, you’re responsible for paying it. In fact, getting a traffic or speeding ticket in another state often times requires a lawyer, since it’s more difficult to contest it. In every state, if you have unpaid tickets in another state, they will suspend your license.

More likely than not, the answer is yes. A traffic ticket received out of state will get listed on your driver’s license – after all, the United States includes each and every state, and your driving record in one will follow you wherever you go.

The more serious the traffic violation, the more beneficial a Alabama traffic ticket attorney is needed. If you are in a distant city or state, you can hire a local Alabama attorney who can make a court appearance on your behalf. If you are charge with a misdemeanor, felony or DUI, then you should seek legal representation.

While most people just pay the ticket and move on, it may be worth it to hire a Alabama traffic lawyer to fight your ticket. Many people get tickets when they don’t necessarily deserve them.  With the right representation, you may be able to get your ticket dismissed.
