If you are currently driving on a limited permit for any reason and you receive a new traffic ticket, it is very important that you don’t plead guilty or pay the fine for any moving violation without first speaking with a lawyer.

If you are convicted of a new moving violation while you are driving on a limited permit, your limited permit will be revoked, and you will not be eligible to apply to have your full license reinstated for 6 months. This means that you will be completely without a driver’s license. The DDS may also choose to extend the suspension that left you driving on a limited permit to begin with!

So, how can a lawyer help?  First, a lawyer could evaluate your situation and determine if your license could be reinstated prior to handling the new traffic ticket. Second, a lawyer could negotiate with prosecutors to try to reduce your charge to a non-moving violation or even have the new traffic ticket dismissed.

If you are driving on a limited permit and have a new traffic ticket, it is important that you speak with a lawyer prior to pleading guilty or simply paying the fine. Call our office at 404-581-0999 and we would be happy to evaluate your situation and determine the best course of action for you.
