Sometimes, what you don’t know can hurt you.
Attorney Justin McShane says that line of thinking holds true for speeding tickets.
“We’ve had many horror stories of people coming back to us and going, ‘Oh my goodness, I didn’t realize that pleading guilty to a 30-over meant that my license would be suspended,'” McShane said. “‘I thought it was just going to be a fine.'”
McShane says the most important thing a driver can do is question. That’s why someone sent ABC27 a copy of her speeding ticket when she suspected the person who pulled her over made a mistake.
