Our Goal

Our goal is to provide you with compassionate, timely, and professional service while decreasing the amount of license and/or insurance points that can come from pleading guilty (or paying off) a speeding ticket.

In order for us to be transparent and for you to be informed about your ticket, we have provided some helpful information about traffic violations.

Below is a Driver’s License Points guideline to show what points can be put on your license as a result of a moving violation ticket.

No SDIP Points will be charged for:

  • An accident provided all of the following are true:
    • There is property damage only
    • The amount of damage is $1,800 or less
    • There is no conviction for a moving violation in connection with the accident; and
    • No licensed operators in the household have convictions or at-fault accidents during the experience period. (An insurance company may require that the insured be covered by that company for six continuous months.)
  • Speeding 10 mph or less over the posted speed limit; provided all of the following are true:
    • The violation did not occur in a school zone; and
    • There is not another moving traffic violation for the experience period (an isolated Prayer for Judgement Continued [PJC] will not count as a prior conviction for the purpose of this exception).
  • One PJC for each household every three years; however:
    • A second PJC may cause points to be charged according to the underlying convictions.
