Traffic Law

Traffic violations deal with a wide range of offenses, penalties and results. When most people hear the term “traffic offense,” they think of speeding and parking tickets, but these are far from the only issues that involve traffic law. Traffic violations can lead to serious consequences, depending on a few factors.

If you face problems with traffic tickets, driving with a suspended license, liability for causing an accident or any other traffic-related offense, you need to seek the help of a Missouri traffic attorney. Gary Lauber has been helping people with traffic law problems for years, and below are a few facts to consider regarding Missouri traffic law.

IF YOU ARE STOPPED FOR A DUI or TRAFFIC VIOLATION:

DO be polite and produce the requested documents.

DO NOT say that it’s your fault, even if you think it is.

DO NOT volunteer information. You are not required to answer ANY questions regardless of what the officer says.

DO NOT lie to the officer. If you don’t want to answer a question, it’s better just not to answer than to lie.

There’s a fifth step, too:

Contact the Gary Lauber Attorney At Law .

The above may look glib, but it is not. We are serious. Most people don’t realize that the consequences of traffic tickets can be severe. The sooner you contact an attorney, the better your chances in court.

If you are convicted of a traffic violation, you could face:

• Hefty fines
• High insurance rates (sometimes more than double what you’re paying now)
• Points on your record (which could affect your employment if you drive for a living)
• A suspended license
• A revoked license
• Jail time

If you are facing charges of drunk driving or reckless driving, you need an attorney who will protect your rights. Gary Lauber  is familiar with the Missouri courts and knows how to look out for your interests.
