Why Driving Charges Matter
Even a seemingly minor traffic conviction can add points to your driving record, raise your insurance rates, and put your license at risk of suspension. If you already have points on your record, a new conviction can push you over the threshold for automatic suspension. Fighting the charge — or negotiating a reduction — can protect your license and save you money long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a reckless driving charge be reduced in Michigan?
Yes, in many cases. Reckless driving is a misdemeanor that can be negotiated down to a civil infraction in certain circumstances, which results in no criminal record and fewer points. An experienced attorney can assess your case.
What happens if I drive on a suspended license in Michigan?
Driving on a suspended or revoked license is a misdemeanor. A first offense can result in up to 93 days in jail and a fine. Subsequent offenses carry higher penalties. The court can also extend your license suspension.
How many points before I lose my license in Michigan?
In Michigan, 12 points within 2 years triggers a reexamination by the Secretary of State. If you accumulate enough violations, your license can be suspended or revoked. An attorney can help you fight citations to keep your points down.
