|---|---|
| License points | 4 points (disregarding a traffic signal or stop sign) |

| License risk | 4 points is a third of the way to Tennessee's 12-point suspension notice. |
Frequently asked questions
No — camera citations are $50 civil penalties against the owner, carry no points, and by statute can't be reported to insurers. An officer-issued ticket is entirely different: 4 points and a record entry worth fighting.
Frequently — common outcomes include dismissal on court costs, driving school in exchange for dismissal, or amendment to a non-moving violation. Attorneys in our network negotiate these outcomes in the local court routinely.
Both are traffic-control-device violations with the same 4 points and similar fines, and both respond to the same defenses — obstructed signage, sight-line problems, and negotiation.
Paying online is pleading guilty: 4 points and a three-year insurance surcharge that usually exceeds the total cost of contesting the ticket. Check your options before the deadline.
