Raleigh Traffic Ticket Attorney

Resolving Your Traffic Tickets is Important to Avoid Deportation and to Secure Your Ability to Obtain a Driver's License in the Future Resolving your traffic tickets today will help you get a driver's license in the future. To get a driver's license in North Carolina, you must have a valid social security number. With a driver's license, you have legal permission to drive. Without a driver's license, you don't have legal permission to drive. If an officer stops you while driving, he will give you a citation for driving without a license and instruct you to go to court. If you don't go to court, the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles ("DMV") will give you an Order Not to Drive. The next time an officer stops you while driving, the officer will know that you have an Order Not to Drive, will cite you for driving on a revoked driving privilege, and may take you to jail. Many jails review your immigration status, which lead to deportation. As long as you or your lawyer go to court and resolve your traffic tickets, the DMV will not issue an Order Not to Drive. Instead, you will get a few DMV points based on the seriousness of your conviction. As long as you don't get too many points, the DMV will not issue an Order Not to Drive. Every driver fits into one of three categories:
  1. Drivers who have legal permission to drive, valid driver's licenses;
  2. Drivers who not have legal permission to drive, no driver's licenses; and
  3. Drivers who have been Ordered Not to Drive by the DMV.
Even if you cant get a driver's license, you should try to stay in the second category, drivers who do not have legal permission to drive. If you can avoid an Order Not to Drive by the DMV, you will be eligible to get a driver's license when you get a social security number or when North Carolina removes the social security number requirement for getting a driver's license. If you resolve your old traffic tickets, the DMV can remove your Order Not to Drive. This may keep you from being arrested and taken to jail the next time an officer stops you while driving. An experienced Raleigh traffic lawyer can resolve most old traffic tickets without asking you to attend court. Get help from your Raleigh criminal defense attorney today!
