Indiana Traffic Lawyers
Protect Your License, Your Record, and Your Ability to Drive.
Custom Law represents Indiana drivers facing tickets, points, suspension, reckless driving, aggressive driving, and habitual-violator consequences.
Traffic Violations in Indiana
Paying a traffic ticket is generally treated as admitting the violation. A ticket can add points, increase insurance costs, contribute to suspension, or create larger consequences for a commercial driver or someone with an existing record.
Speeding Points
- Up to 15 mph over: Two points.
- 16 to 25 mph over: Four points.
- More than 25 mph over: Six points.
Defense may challenge the officer’s measurement method, equipment maintenance, visual estimate, signage, or whether the alleged speed was supported by reliable evidence. Indiana Code §9-21-8-41 addresses disobeying traffic signals.
Other Matters We Handle
- Reckless and aggressive driving
- Driving while suspended
- Habitual traffic violator status
- Specialized driving privileges
- Commercial-license consequences
Reckless and Aggressive Driving Penalties
Under §9-21-8-52, reckless driving may involve dangerously high or low speed, unsafe passing, weaving, or refusing to yield road space.
- Class C misdemeanor for endangering people or property: Up to 60 days and $500.
- Class B misdemeanor involving property damage: Up to 180 days and $1,000.
- Class A misdemeanor involving bodily injury: Up to one year and $5,000.
License suspension may last up to one year. Aggressive driving under §9-21-8-55 involves at least three listed violations in one episode; intentional harassment or annoyance is Class A.
Points, Suspension, and HTV
Points remain for two years. Fourteen to 18 points may produce 12 months of probation; suspensions range from one month at 20 points to 12 months at 42 or more. A driver-improvement course may remove up to four points. A first driving-while-suspended offense is Class A infraction; repetition may be Class A misdemeanor. Injury may make it Level 6, and death Level 5.
Defending Your Driving Privileges
We review the stop, officer observations, radar or lidar records, driving record, notice of suspension, and whether the State can prove knowing or intentional conduct. Specialized driving privileges may allow limited driving for work, school, healthcare, or childcare while a suspension remains in effect.
