Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after getting a traffic ticket in St Albans?
You must respond by the date on your citation, usually within 15 days. You can pay the fine, plead guilty, or plead not guilty and request a hearing. A lawyer can advise you on the best option based on the violation and your driving record.
Will a traffic ticket in West Virginia add points to my license?
Yes, most moving violations add points under West Virginia Code 17B-4-3. For example, speeding 10-15 mph over the limit adds 3 points. Accumulating 12 points in 2 years can lead to license suspension. A lawyer may help reduce or dismiss the charge to avoid points.
Can I take a defensive driving course to reduce a ticket in West Virginia?
West Virginia allows you to take a state-approved defensive driving course to remove up to 3 points from your license once every 12 months. This does not dismiss the ticket itself but can prevent a suspension if you are close to the point limit.
