Frequently asked questions
Is a speeding ticket a crime in Michigan?
No — ordinary speeding is a civil infraction, not a criminal charge. But it still adds points to your Secretary of State record and shows up when insurers pull your history, which is why it's worth contesting.
How many points is speeding in Michigan?
It scales with speed: roughly 2 points for up to 10 mph over, 3 points for 11–15 over, and 4 points for 16 or more over the limit. Points sit on your record for two years.
Can a Michigan speeding ticket be negotiated down?
Frequently, yes. Attorneys in our network regularly get speeding infractions reduced to a lower-point offense or a no-point violation like impeding traffic, keeping your record clean.
Do I have to show up to the district court hearing?
Usually not. When you're represented, a licensed Michigan attorney can typically handle the informal or formal hearing and any negotiation without you taking a day off work.
What does it cost to fight a speeding ticket in Michigan?
Most straightforward Michigan speeding tickets are quoted as a flat fee upfront — no hourly billing. Given Michigan's insurance prices, the fee is usually well below what a conviction would add to your premium.
