A: Yes, it's possible to get more traffic tickets later. It's up to the Prosecuting Attorney to decide what charges to file, and they have up to 1 year from the date of the incident (for misdemeanors) to file charges against you. You can hire a traffic law attorney to represent you if you want to get your tickets reduced to a non-moving, no-point infraction that won't affect your driving record or car insurance rates.
