Traffic Tickets

If you've received a traffic ticket it may be possible to keep that ticket "off your record" so that it doesn't impact your insurance rates or even worse, cause the suspension of your driver's license.

Your driving privileges may be suspended for many reasons including conviction of three (3) moving violations within a twelve-month period. (K.S.A. 8-255)

It's often possible to keep a traffic infraction off your record by getting the ticket amended to a non-moving violation.  Some jurisdictions offer traffic diversions to allow people to keep infractions off their driving records.

There are some things that may prohibit you from being able to keep an infraction off your record, e.g., the ticket was for speeding in a construction zone, you were still on diversion for a previous speeding ticket, etc.
