Adkins Law, PLLC: Handling Traffic Matters, Speeding Tickets, and DWIs in Huntersville, NC

By Published On: October 20th, 2025

Traffic violations may seem minor at first glance, but in North Carolina, even a single ticket can carry serious consequences. From points on your driver’s license to insurance increases or even license suspension, the impact of a traffic conviction can last for years.

At Adkins Law, PLLC in Huntersville, NC, we regularly defend clients against traffic infractions, speeding tickets, and driving while impaired (DWI) charges.

Speeding Tickets in North Carolina
Speeding tickets are the most common traffic violation in our state. While many people simply pay the fine, doing so counts as a guilty plea, which can result in points on your license and increased insurance premiums.

License Points:
– Speeding over 55 mph: 3 points. – Reckless driving: 4 points. – Speeding in a school zone: 3 points.

If you accumulate 12 points in three years, your license may be suspended.

Insurance Points:
– 1 point: Up to a 30% increase in rates. – 2 points: Up to a 45% increase. – 4 points: Up to an 80% increase. – 12 points: Rates may triple.

How We Help: We negotiate reductions to minimize points and insurance consequences.

Traffic Infractions and Violations
Other infractions include running stop signs, following too closely, and unsafe lane changes. Repeated violations can add up to suspensions. We challenge the evidence and fight to reduce or eliminate points.

Driving While Impaired (DWI) in North Carolina
A DWI charge is one of the most serious traffic offenses. You may be charged if your BAC is 0.08% or higher, 0.04% for commercial drivers, or if you are impaired by drugs or alcohol regardless of BAC.

Consequences include license suspension, fines, community service, treatment programs, and jail time.

How We Defend: We review the stop, arrest, tests, and breathalyzer to challenge weaknesses in the state’s case.
