Q: How long will I lose my license if I was going 24 mph over the speed limit
A:
Hello Asker,
Unfortunately, this is an impossible question to answer given the information you have provided. The question of how long a suspension lasts depends on several factors: age of the driver, seriousness of other offenses, how many previous suspensions are on a record, what types of suspensions those were, and how clean one's record is all are factored into the determination of a suspension length. All I can say for certain is the minimum suspension period for traffic violations suspensions is one month and the maximum period is 12 month suspension or revocation. In order to provide further detail, more information is necessary to answer your question.
If you would like clarification on the exact length of a suspension that can result from this ticket based upon your own driving record, I would suggest scheduling a free phone consultation with a traffic attorney as there are too many factors that go into suspension length to discuss based upon the limited information available here.
That said, I would highly caution against mailing in this ticket as it is very serious and is an unlikely candidate for supervision by mail. This can easily result in a conviction entering and that may, along with previous moving violation suspensions, precipitate a suspension or revocation of privileges. Instead, I would take steps to have your case heard in traffic court. Whether an attorney is recommended depends on your record and that is again a question best answered in a phone consultation.
Sincerely,
Jason A. Wilkins
