What to Expect From a Traffic Ticket

The penalties that you will face from a traffic ticket will vary depending on the violation you committed, its severity, and your past driving record. These penalties include:


  • Fines
  • Points on your driving record
  • Suspension of your license
  • Jail time


You will be provided a ticket in person, or by mail, that requires you to act. You will usually want to plead not guilty and send the ticket back to the Magisterial District Justice handline your matter (with the required fee). Keep a copy of your ticket and call CDM LAW.

Pennsylvania Points System

Because Pennsylvania operates on a point-based system for its drivers, each traffic violation causes points to be added to a driver’s record, and each violation is between 2 to 5 points. Once a driver accumulates 6 points, additional penalties—such as having to pass a written driver safety exam—will be required. However, if a driver goes 12 months without a traffic violation, 3 points will be cleared from their driving record.




Driving Under Suspension

Once your license is suspended, you cannot drive until your driving privileges are restored. If you drive while your license is suspended, you will face the possibility of mandatory jail time depending on the offense and/or the number of prior offenses. 1543(b) is a violation for driving under a DUI suspended license, and this offense carries serious consequences including fines, additional license suspension, and mandatory jail time. 1543(a) is an offense for driving under suspension but is not DUI-related.




Traffic Accidents

There are often motor vehicle violations and traffic citations issued after a traffic accident. Be careful, as the consequences of a plea can have serious repercussions if there is an injury or injury. A plea could lead to consequences and liability for resulting injuries in a civil matter.




Appeals

Have you already pled guilty or were found guilty? Do not worry, you have thirty (30) days from the date of your conviction to file an appeal (summary appeal). A summary appeal is an appeal of a summary conviction that is handled at the Court of Common Pleas by a judge. You are entitled to a trial de novo (a new trial) where the Commonwealth will be forced to prove your guilt.


What if you are past thirty (30) days? If you are past your appeal period, then you can file a summary appeal “nunc pro tunc” and ask the court to forgive the untimeliness of the motion due to your unique situation. Your appeal is not guaranteed, but it is still possible.
