A speeding offense may cost you fines, increased insurance or loss of your license. In the case of a criminal or more serious traffic offense it may cost you your job, your family, or even your freedom. If you are convicted for a moving violation, it will go on your driving record, which can only be accessed by the Department of Motor Vehicles and law enforcement agencies. However, employers, attorneys and insurance companies may be granted access if they show "good cause" reasons.

Know your rights
If you are pulled over for speeding, always ask why you were pulled over. Failure to stop a vehicle without probable cause or reasonable suspicion constitutes an unreasonable seizure in violation of your legal rights. Also, do not consent to allowing the police officer to search your vehicle. Unless the officer has a search warrant, any search will be without your consent.

If you are pulled over, never give a statement to the police without first contacting an attorney. You have the right to remain silent, and to seek the advice of a competent attorney as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the weaker your defense may become.
