Tennessee Traffic Court Violations

Tennessee traffic citations, including speeding tickets and traffic tickets, may be issued instead of arresting a defendant for minor driving violations.

Speeding tickets are the most common example of traffic tickets or traffic court citations in Tennessee, and other examples include Failure to Yield, Following Too Closely, and Disregarding a Traffic Signal. A citation may also be issued for Underage Possession or Consumption of Alcohol, Simple Possession of Drugs, or other misdemeanor offenses.

Traffic tickets, speeding tickets and other traffic related citations are usually heard in either General Sessions Court or Municipal Court. The following are consequences which may occur if you are convicted of, or fail to satisfy, a traffic citation in Tennessee:

• A fine and/or court costs

• Probation

• Points added to your driving history

• Tennessee driver's license revocation or suspension

• Increased car or auto insurance premiums

Mr. Oberman and Ms. Compher-Rice can often assist you with resolving a Tennessee traffic ticket, Tennessee speeding ticket or Tennessee traffic citation in such a way that many of these consequences may be avoided. Because the facts, law, and circumstances of each Tennessee traffic ticket case vary, it is important for persons in need of a lawyer to meet individually with counsel to obtain specific advice about traffic courts in Tennessee. The information contained on this web site regarding Tennessee traffic tickets, speeding tickets, and traffic citations is no substitute for individual legal consultation.
