Frequently asked questions
How many points is speeding in West Virginia?
It scales with speed — from around 2 points for minor speeding up to 5 points for greater amounts over the limit. At 12 points the DMV suspends you for 30 days, so the points tier you're convicted under matters as much as the fine.
Can a West Virginia speeding ticket be negotiated down?
Frequently. Magistrate court prosecutors — and sometimes the citing officers themselves — regularly agree to amend speeding to a lesser or non-moving charge like defective equipment, which keeps points off your DMV record. We connect you with a West Virginia attorney who knows the local practice.
Will I need to appear in magistrate court?
Usually not for an ordinary speeding case — a West Virginia attorney can typically handle the negotiation and appearance for you, and many cases resolve before any hearing.
How long do points stay on my West Virginia record?
Points clear after two years, but the conviction itself stays visible longer — and that conviction is what your insurer prices against for roughly three years.
Does West Virginia offer a way to remove points?
Yes — completing an approved defensive driving course can deduct points from your total. It's a useful backstop, but keeping the conviction off your record in the first place protects both your license and your premium.
