Frequently asked questions
Paying a payable citation is a conviction — points post to your MVA record and your insurer surcharges you. Requesting a trial in District Court opens the door to a dismissal, a reduced charge, or probation before judgment, which avoids points entirely. That choice is the whole ballgame in Maryland.
A judge can strike the guilty finding and enter PBJ — you pay costs, but no conviction is recorded and no points reach your MVA record. It's one of the most driver-friendly outcomes in the country, and an attorney presenting your case well is how you earn it.
One point for less than 10 mph over, two points for 10 or more over, and five points for 30+ over or speed contributing to an accident. With suspension review starting at 8 points in two years, a couple of bad months can put a license in jeopardy.
For most payable citations an attorney can appear and try or negotiate the case for you. We connect you with a licensed Maryland attorney who requests the trial date and handles the courtroom — many clients never appear at all.
No — camera citations are civil penalties against the vehicle with a $40 fine and no points or insurance reporting. An officer-issued citation is entirely different and carries the point consequences above.
