Frequently asked questions
How does Colorado's speeding point scale work?
It climbs steeply: 1 point for 5–9 over, 4 points for 10–19, 6 points for 20–39, and a full 12 points — instant suspension territory — for 40 or more over. The band you're cited in largely determines how hard the ticket is worth fighting.
Can a Colorado speeding ticket be pled down?
Routinely. District attorneys across Colorado negotiate point reductions — say, a 4-point charge down to a 1- or 2-point violation or a zero-point defective vehicle amendment. Attorneys in our network know the going rates in each county.
Do I have to appear in a Colorado county court?
Usually not — for most infractions and many misdemeanor traffic charges, an attorney can appear for you. We connect you with a licensed Colorado attorney who handles the appearance and negotiation.
What about speeding 20–39 mph over — is that different?
Yes, meaningfully: it's 6 points and charged as a class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense rather than a civil infraction, meaning a criminal disposition. That's precisely the band where representation changes outcomes the most.
How long do convictions matter in Colorado?
Points count against you for the 12- and 24-month suspension windows, but the conviction itself stays on your motor vehicle record and drives insurance pricing at every renewal for years.
