Frequently asked questions
Is it worth hiring a lawyer for a speeding ticket in Alabama?
Usually, yes. The three-year insurance surcharge from a conviction typically costs more than legal fees, and attorneys in our network can often negotiate the charge down to something that keeps points off your ALEA record.
Do I have to show up in court for an Alabama speeding ticket?
In most Alabama municipal and district courts, a licensed attorney can appear for you. We connect you with a licensed Alabama attorney who handles the court date so you don't have to.
How many points does a speeding ticket carry in Alabama?
Two points for speeding 25 mph or less over the limit, five points for 26 mph or more over. Points accumulate toward ALEA's suspension thresholds starting at 12–14 points in two years.
Can I take a defensive driving course instead?
Many Alabama courts allow driving school in exchange for dismissal, but eligibility varies by court and your record. An attorney can tell you whether school or a negotiated amendment is the better outcome in your court.
How long do points stay on an Alabama driving record?
Points stop counting toward suspension after two years, but the conviction itself remains on your record and is what insurers see when they set your rates.
