We hate to be the ones to break it to you but: the left lane is not the fast lane, it’s just the left lane. And no matter which lane you’re speeding in—that’s probably the lane you’ll be getting pulled over in.
And, while we’re debunking myths, here’s another: paying off your ticket makes it go away.
Wrong! It just makes the court’s job a heck of a lot easier since you’re basically handing them a signed confession letter. The better option? Get an experienced criminal defense attorney involved from the start to protect your rights and keep your record clean—preferably one with a 99% success rate.

Many drivers don’t realize you can receive different types of speeding tickets. Additionally, the type of ticket you get will affect your fine and other penalties.
Some common types of traffic tickets include:
Speeding tickets can occur anywhere, from downtown New Iberia and busy highways to even parking lots. If you’re going over the posted speed limit, then you could be pulled over for speeding, resulting in a ticket. Around the holidays, there are usually more traffic tickets given because people are busy getting home for the holidays.
Some roads and highways are busier than others in New Iberia, like:
There are three options for fighting a speeding ticket.
Many drivers opt to pay for their tickets. While this may be the easiest option, there are consequences to paying your speeding ticket—namely that you have to pay a hefty fine. The faster you are going, the more you have to pay.
Instead of paying the speeding ticket, you could go to traffic court and fight the law yourself. You may be able to reduce your charge, but at what cost? Going through this process alone means you must spend several hours in court and meeting with the prosecutor. Despite all the hours you spend fighting the ticket, you will likely have to pay a fine.
Finally, the best option would be to work with a traffic ticket attorney. When you work with a lawyer, they will handle your case, saving time and money. Let the Law Office of Heather C. Ford resolve your speeding ticket, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Here are some ways Heather C. Ford can help you.
Your driving privileges could be revoked if you’ve received a speeding ticket. A traffic ticket lawyer can help you resolve your ticket so that you don’t have to pay a fine and deal with the other consequences of a speeding ticket.
Moving violations are infractions a driver commits while the vehicle is moving. This can include speeding, running a red light, or driving under the influence. A traffic attorney can help you get your ticket dismissed or the penalties reduced.
If your license has been suspended in New Orleans, you will face many harsh penalties, and your entire livelihood will be affected. A suspended license attorney can fight your charges in an attempt to get them dropped. If your charges get dropped, your license will no longer be suspended.
Traffic misdemeanors in Louisiana can include driving without a license, speeding, and running a red light. While misdemeanors are less severe than felonies, they still result in many penalties. A traffic attorney can help you fight these charges to reduce your consequences.
A DUI lawyer can help you avoid or reduce the charges against you. If you work with an attorney after getting charged with drunk driving, you can avoid jail time and get your license back sooner.
Having a criminal record can create lasting, adverse effects on your life. For example, you may have difficulty finding employment with a traffic violation on your driving record. A New Orleans expungement lawyer can help you determine if you are eligible for expungement. If you are, they will also help you with the expungement process so you can move on with your life.
Without your driver’s license, you can’t live your best life. Stuck at home with no way to get out, how will you find a way to work or pick up your kids from school? You feel confined in your house and rely on others to take you places.
You need your license back.
If your license is suspended, your best action is to contact a New Iberia suspended license attorney. An experienced lawyer will devise a strategy to get your license back so you can return to your normal life.
