Frequently asked questions
Should I pay my Maryland speeding ticket or request a trial?
Paying a payable citation is a conviction — points post to your MVA record and your insurer surcharges you. Requesting a trial in District Court opens the door to a dismissal, a reduced charge, or probation before judgment, which avoids points entirely. That choice is the whole ballgame in Maryland.
What is probation before judgment (PBJ) in Maryland?
A judge can strike the guilty finding and enter PBJ — you pay costs, but no conviction is recorded and no points reach your MVA record. It's one of the most driver-friendly outcomes in the country, and an attorney presenting your case well is how you earn it.
How many points is speeding in Maryland?
One point for less than 10 mph over, two points for 10 or more over, and five points for 30+ over or speed contributing to an accident. With suspension review starting at 8 points in two years, a couple of bad months can put a license in jeopardy.
Do I have to attend the District Court date myself?
For most payable citations an attorney can appear and try or negotiate the case for you. We connect you with a licensed Maryland attorney who requests the trial date and handles the courtroom — many clients never appear at all.
Do Maryland speed camera tickets add points?
No — camera citations are civil penalties against the vehicle with a $40 fine and no points or insurance reporting. An officer-issued citation is entirely different and carries the point consequences above.
