In an area like Palm Beach County, many of us depend on our cars to get to work, to get ourselves or our kids to school, and all the everyday things that we have to do. Losing the ability to do that can be extremely disruptive and devastating. However, traffic citations and criminal infractions that occur behind the wheel can mean just that.
Being found or pleading guilty to any violation or offense will lead to your insurance premiums going up, or you losing your policy. You will accumulate points that many eventually lead to you losing driving privileges. For some serious offenses, like drunk driving, your license can be suspended or revoked.
