FAQs About Traffic Offenses in Ohio
Can I lose my driver's license for getting too many points on my record?
What are the inconveniences of losing my driving privileges?
Losing your driving privileges can upend your daily life. You’ll need to rely on friends, family, public transportation or ride-sharing services to get to work, school, appointments and run errands, which can be costly and time-consuming.
Will my insurance rates increase if I get too many points?
Yes, accumulating points on your driving record can make your automobile insurance rates increase dramatically. These higher rates may persist for several years, and in some cases, they may never return to their original levels.
What is a driver remediation course?
A driver remediation course is an educational program you may be required to attend if you get too many points on your driving record. You’ll be responsible for paying the fees associated with this course, which adds to the overall cost of your traffic violation.
Do I have the option to fight my traffic citation in traffic court?
Yes, you have the right to contest your traffic citation in traffic court rather than simply paying the fine. By fighting your ticket, you’re pleading not guilty to the alleged offense and giving yourself a chance to mitigate the consequences of a conviction.
How can a Dayton traffic lawyer help me?
An experienced traffic lawyer understands the local traffic laws and court procedures specific to where your ticket was issued. The VanNoy Firm’s skilled traffic attorneys can help you prepare your case, navigate the traffic court system, and work toward the best possible outcome for your situation.
Getting a ticket for a traffic law violation is unpleasant, and no one likes being on the receiving end of a traffic citation. The consequences of getting a traffic ticket in Ohio mainly take three forms:
- Payment of a fine;
- Points added to your driver’s license; and
- Loss of driving privileges.
Many Ohioans believe that if they simply pay the fine associated with their ticket, they can be done with the citation and can go on with their lives. However, payment of the fine for a traffic citation is effectively the same as pleading guilty or no contest to the alleged traffic offense. This means that you accept responsibility for the alleged offense and also accept the consequences associated with the offense.
When too many points accrue on your driving record, you can lose your driver’s license. If your driver’s license is revoked (i.e., your driver’s license is canceled) or suspended (i.e., the temporary loss of your driving privileges), it can make your life difficult. Getting to work, school, extracurricular activities, and running errands will become a major inconvenience as you may have to rely on friends, family, public transportation, or ride-sharing programs in order to get around. There are other unintended consequences to pleading guilty to a traffic ticket as well. For instance, too many points on your driving record could cause your automobile insurance rates to increase dramatically, and it could take many years for those rates to go down again, if they ever do. You could also be required to attend a driver remediation course, which you will have to pay for.
You do not have to accept that you were charged with a traffic offense. You have the option to fight your traffic citation in traffic court. By fighting your traffic ticket, you are taking a stand and pleading not guilty to your alleged offense. If you want to fight your traffic ticket, you should consider working with an experienced traffic offense lawyer in Dayton. Traffic violations vary greatly between different cities and counties, and an experienced Dayton traffic lawyer will know the relevant traffic law for where your ticket was issued, will be familiar with the traffic court system, and can help you prepare your case.

Looking for an attorney for Greene or Montgomery County? Anthony VanNoy is the lawyer you need. VanNoy Law Firm promptly responded to every phone call, text and e-mail we sent. We were treated with care and compassion. Contacted VanNoy Law Firm, explained she had 30 felony counts and a probation violation and that we wanted her out of jail immediately, he said he could make that happen so we retained him. Anthony had her out of jail in a couple of days and had Montgomery County resolved in the same time frame. Also had the Greene County ankle monitor removed…

Life Changing Attorney!!! Words cannot fully express the gratitude I have for Attorney Anthony VanNoy. He went above and beyond in every possible way and truly changed the course of my life. I had two court cases that felt overwhelming and uncertain, but thanks to his dedication, patience, and genuine care, both resulted in amazing outcomes. From the moment we hired him, everything changed. He immediately stepped in, got me a court date the very next day, and had me released from jail that same day. My previous attorney had told me I’d be waiting a month just to be…
