Did you know that if you accumulate ten (10) traffic convictions in a ten (10) year period that the State of Indiana will suspend your Indiana driver’s license for a period of five (5) years?
That is in fact true. I have represented too many clients who, simply in the course of traveling to and from work on a daily basis, accumulate ten (10) Porter County traffic convictions over a ten (10) year period and end up being classified as a Habitual Traffic Offender (“HTV”). This is certainly a harsh result, but it can be avoided if you take the proper steps each time you receive Porter County traffic tickets.
The results only get harsher as time goes on. Not only could you face multiple license suspensions for the individual traffic infractions, you could face a driving while a habitual traffic offender (“HTV”), which is a D Felony in the State of Indiana. A D Felony in Indiana carries a range in punishment of up to three (3) years in the Indiana Department of Corrections!
Don’t let the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (“BMV“) play games with your Indiana driver’s license, and don’t risk being placed behind bars. Contact a Porter County criminal defense attorney immediately after getting stopped by police for a Porter County traffic ticket. A Porter County criminal/traffic attorney can help to avoid points accumulating on your driver’s license, and therefore avoid a possible HTV determination, as well as the potential criminal penalties that could result.
