Frequently Asked Questions
What are the penalties for a speeding ticket in Plainville Massachusetts?
Penalties depend on how fast you were driving. For 1-10 mph over the limit the fine is typically 105 dollars plus a 50 dollar surcharge. Speeding 11-20 mph over can result in a 135 dollar fine and 2 surcharge points. Massachusetts also adds a 25 dollar head injury fee to most moving violations.
Can I fight a traffic ticket in Plainville without a lawyer?
Yes you can represent yourself at a hearing in Wrentham District Court. However a lawyer can identify legal defenses such as improper radar calibration or sign visibility issues. Massachusetts law gives you 20 days to request a hearing after receiving the citation.
How long does a traffic ticket stay on my Massachusetts driving record?
Most moving violations remain on your record for 6 years from the date of conviction. The Registry of Motor Vehicles uses this record to assess surcharge points. A lawyer may be able to get the charge reduced to a non-moving violation which carries fewer long term consequences.
