When a person pays a traffic ticket, the effect can be more far-reaching than they
imagine. If a driver simply pays a ticket for a moving violation, they are admitting their
guilt. As a result, points can be assessed by the Department of Highway Safety and
Motor Vehicles. If enough points are accrued, the driver's license may be suspended or
revoked. Also, if a driver is deemed to have admitted the infraction, their insurance
costs can increase. In some cases, the insurance might even be cancelled.

However, you may be able to avoid these unintended consequences in a number of
ways. For instance, a driver may elect to go to driving school. However, some drivers
may not be eligible for this privilege. For those people, hiring a lawyer may be
beneficial. The court may choose to withhold adjudication; i/e the finding of guilt,
which would enable them to avoid the points on their license and the increase in their
insurance.

You may also choose to have a bench, or judge, trial on your ticket. The officer would
be responsible for appearing and testifying about the facts of your case. He must
provide certain documents demonstrating he is qualified to operate the radar or laser
instrument used to measure your speed and that the device is accurate.
