Tickets & Driving Schools

During your tenure as a motorist, you might make a mistake and be cited for a traffic violation. Although one or two tickets during a driving career might not cause much trouble, your best bet is to keep your South Dakota driving record as clean as possible.

One major reason for that has to do with auto insurance. Companies determine your rate, at least in part, by what kind of a driver you are. The higher the number of tickets on your driving record, the higher your premium.

Furthermore, the State of South Dakota can suspend or revoke your driver's license if you rack up too many tickets, or “points.” Luckily for motorists, many states allow drivers to sign up for traffic school to reduce these points.

Let us show you how and where to pay your ticket, the penalties associated with the infractions, how to protect your driver's license, and how to maintain reasonable auto insurance rates.
