When do you need a Bail Bondsman
for a Traffic Infraction?
There are two major situations in which you may need a bail bondsman to deal with a traffic citation:
You could be cited for a major traffic violation: in many cases, such as in the case of infractions like speeding or illegal parking, you may not need the services of a bail bondsman. However, if the citation falls under a felony or misdemeanor charge, posting a bail bond could help you avoid jail time before the set court date. Traffic citations which could necessitate bail bonds expertise include but are not limited to Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), reckless driving, and driving without insurance or a valid license.
The charges could be too high for you: in other cases, a traffic violation could attract additional charges, such as when you do not pay the fine within the given time. When you do not have enough money to cover all the charge, posting a bail bond could give you time to raise the money or ultimately have them reduced when you appear to contest the charge in court.
