Get Legal Help Protecting Your Driving Record
If you received a citation in Nevada for allegedly driving too slowly, don’t just accept it. The circumstances are often unclear, but a knowledgeable traffic lawyer can adequately challenge the ticket’s validity through the legal process. Contact us for a consultation about fighting your driving too slowly allegation.
Understanding Nevada’s Minimum Speed Limit Laws
While most tickets involve speeding, driving too far under the minimum posted speed is also illegal in Nevada. Fines start around $50. However, heavy traffic, weather conditions, and other factors can make obeying minimum speeds difficult or unsafe. A skilled attorney knows how to fight questionable slow-driving tickets.
Building an Effective Legal Defense Against the Citation
Experienced traffic citation lawyers know how to craft strong defenses against driving too slowly allegations, such as:
- There was no minimum speed sign posted
- Traffic, construction, or road conditions necessitated slower driving
- Inclement weather like rain or snow made posted speeds unsafe
- Your slow speed was reasonable and prudent under the circumstances
- The officer did not correctly document your alleged speed
- Technical errors or issues with how the ticket was written
Our attorneys thoroughly examine the facts to build the most robust case possible. We then negotiate assertively with prosecutors or advocate for dismissal in court. Don’t settle for an unjust citation – fight back!
