Stop Signs Traffic Tickets
Failing to stop at a stop sign covers anything that is not a complete and full stop. While the law does not define the duration for a stop, a rolling stop is considered a violation.
If you are charged with failing to stop at a stop sign, the following penalties apply:
- 3 demerit points
- A $110 fine
- A conviction registered on your driving record for 3 years
- Determination of fault in the case of a traffic accident
- Possible insurance increases
Convictions for failing to stop at a stop sign stay on your driving record for 3 years. They are also available to your insurance company and can therefore affect your rates as the insurance company considers you a risk for possible accidents. The increases the chances of having to pay a claim on your behalf.
If you are involved in an accident as a result of failing to stop at a stop sign, your insurance company may deal two strikes against you, one for being at fault in the accident and another for receiving the stop sign ticket. Your rates could increase even more.
In many cases the prosecutor will want to go to trial for stop sign tickets. You cannot afford to lose your case. Start by filing for a court date or contact OTT Legal and get us to do this for you. Just filing for a court date can keep the conviction off your driving records and save your insurance rates at least for the time being.
