“I was expecting a prison sentence for driving under the influence, but the case was dismissed. Sean knows what he's doing.”
You are not automatically required to pay a traffic ticket in Kentucky—paying is equivalent to pleading guilty. You may choose to contest the violation in court, especially if you believe there was a mistake or want to challenge the charge. A contested case requires a court appearance. A traffic attorney can negotiate reductions or even dismissal.
If the violation is minor and you don't pay or show up, the court may issue a failure-to-appear warrant and possibly an arrest warrant. For more serious violations (misdemeanors or felonies), failure to appear carries even more serious consequences. Always respond—by paying or showing up—or risk additional penalties.
Yes. Speeding tickets and other moving violations in Kentucky assign points to your driving record. Accumulating too many points can lead to license suspension or revocation. Defensive driving courses and contesting violations are important strategies.
In Kentucky, you have several rights when faced with a DUI charge:
Blood alcohol limits: 0.08% general, 0.04% for commercial drivers, 0.02% for those under 21.
Refusing chemical tests: Refusing the preliminary breath test can lead to arrest. Refusing the test at the station results in a six-month automatic license suspension—the refusal can be used at trial and increase penalties. Refusing a blood test is permitted but still results in suspension; police can obtain a warrant.
Sobriety tests: These are voluntary; you may refuse them. Results can be challenged for procedural errors.
Rights during a stop: You have the right to remain silent, refuse warrantless searches, and request an attorney if arrested.
Stay calm and exercise your rights: silence, seek a lawyer, and do not allow searches without a warrant. If you are arrested, request a lawyer immediately. During an arrest, do not volunteer any information. DUI charges may follow; a defense attorney can challenge field sobriety tests, chemical tests, and protect your driving rights.
From speeding tickets to DUI to license suspension, Pharr Law treats every case seriously—and responds with a fast, focused defense.
