Frequently asked questions
How many points is running a red light in Kentucky?
Disregarding a traffic control device — red light or stop sign — carries three points. That's a quarter of the way to Kentucky's 12-point suspension hearing from a single ticket.
Can a Kentucky signal violation be amended?
Often, yes. County attorneys frequently agree to amend a signal charge to a no-point violation for drivers with decent records. Attorneys in our network handle these negotiations in district courts across the state.
What are the common defenses to a red light charge?
Disputed timing on a stale yellow, an obstructed signal, or the officer's viewing angle at the intersection. Even when they don't produce a dismissal, these issues strengthen the negotiating position considerably.
Should I just pay it and move on?
Paying is a conviction: three points, a mark insurers see for years, and less margin for the next mistake. For most drivers the total cost of paying exceeds the cost of fighting.
