Types of Traffic Violations We Handle
Traffic violations come in many forms—from simple mistakes behind the wheel to serious allegations that can impact employment or insurance. Our firm regularly defends drivers accused of:
Speed-Related & Moving Violations
Speeding, excessive speeding, reckless driving, careless driving, and lane violations are among the most frequent tickets issued in South Carolina. These offenses often carry points, fines, and insurance increases.
Distracted & Negligent Driving
Using a phone, failing to maintain your lane, or driving without due care can lead to costly citations. Many drivers don’t realize these charges can appear on background checks or affect employment.
Traffic Signal & Right-of-Way Violations
Running a red light, rolling through a stop sign, or failing to yield may seem minor, but they still add points to your license. We work to negotiate reductions or challenge the ticket entirely.
Hit & Run / Leaving the Scene
Accusations of leaving the scene of an accident—whether involving property damage or a minor collision—are taken seriously in South Carolina. Early legal guidance is critical to protect your record and avoid criminal consequences.
Vehicle Safety & Documentation Issues
Drivers are often cited for expired registration, missing insurance, equipment violations, or driving without a valid license. Many of these can be corrected, and a lawyer can help ensure the court recognizes those corrections.
Commercial Driver (CDL) Violations
CDL holders face unique risks. A single violation may threaten employment or jeopardize a commercial license. We help drivers protect their livelihood by pursuing reductions, dismissals, or alternative resolutions.
We also represent individuals charged with motorcycle offenses, such as driving without a proper license.
A conviction for any traffic violation could lead to vehicle impoundment, points on your driving record, fines, and other penalties. If you receive a ticket in Mt. Pleasant or the greater Charleston area, consulting with a defense attorney can help you understand your rights and responsibilities.
What to Do If You Receive a Traffic Violation in South Carolina
If you are ticketed for a traffic violation, act quickly to protect your rights. Do not enter a plea without consulting a traffic attorney. Failing to act could result in your license being suspended. With over 15 years of experience practicing in SC, Attorney Joe Good can help you fight the offense and potential penalties. Speak to an attorney before paying a ticket, as you may be entitled to a reduction or dismissal of the charges.
