Our traffic lawyers in NWA have obtained “not guilty” verdicts, charge dismissals, and kept records clean for thousands of clients facing charges for:

  • Speeding
  • Racing
  • Running a stop sign
  • Failure to signal
  • No-tag light
  • Failure to yield to an emergency vehicle
  • Reckless driving
  • No headlights
  • Passing a school bus
  • Failure to dim lights
  • Failure to maintain control

Choosing to proceed without contesting your charges can end up costing you more than just a fine. The traffic violation will also be added to your driving record. Multiple traffic offenses add up and often result in the suspension of your driver’s license. Some traffic crimes can even land you in jail.

Impact of Traffic Violations on Insurance in AR

Yes, a traffic violation can affect your insurance rates in Arkansas. Insurance companies generally consider your driving record when deciding your premiums, and a traffic violation can lead to an increase in your rates. They use a point system to determine the impact of a traffic violation on your rates. Each violation is allotted a certain number of points, and the more points you accumulate, the more your rates are likely to see an increase.

Understanding Speeding Penalties in Arkansas

One of the most common traffic crimes is speeding. Penalties for speeding vary depending on how many miles per hour over the speed limit you were traveling, where you were driving, and the number of your previous violations. The punishments can get more serious the more traffic violations you have on your record.

Drivers going more than 15 mph over the speed limit can be charged with a Class C misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a large fine. Speeding in a construction zone subjects the driver to harsher penalties.

Those who are caught speeding in a school zone may have to face enhanced penalties, including jail time, large fines, and a driver’s license suspension.
