Speeding Ticket Lawyer Route 4 Calvert County | Prince Frederick & Huntingtown
If you’ve been pulled over on Route 4 near Prince Frederick or Huntingtown, you’re not alone.
That stretch of highway is one of the most heavily monitored areas in Calvert County.
And it’s not just a warning you’ll get—it’s points, fines, and possibly hundreds in insurance hikes.
I represent drivers across Calvert County who get hit with what looks like a “simple speeding ticket”—only to find out it’s anything but simple.
Why Route 4 Is a Speed Trap
If you’re local, you already know:
The limit drops fast, especially near traffic lights, school zones, shopping centers, and merge zones.
Officers know exactly where most drivers speed up to pass or get ahead of traffic.
They’re waiting. And one quick decision to go 15 or 20 over can trigger:
- 2 to 5 points on your license
- Fines up to $500
- A massive increase in your insurance premium
- Possible license suspension if you’re already close to the point limit
The Real Cost: Not Just the Fine
Too many people pay the ticket and move on without realizing that the points remain on their record and are reported to their insurance provider.
I’ve seen one speeding ticket raise a driver’s premium by $80 a month—that’s nearly $1,000 a year for a first-time offense.
And if you’re under 25 or have any prior violations?
The cost can be worse.
You Have Options. But Only If You Act Fast.
Here’s what I help clients do:
- Request a court hearing to keep points off your record
- Negotiate with the State’s Attorney for reduced charges
- Argue for Probation Before Judgment (PBJ)—especially for first-time offenders
- Raise defenses if the radar or laser was misused
- Present mitigating factors like a clean record, emergencies, or calibration issues
“Most speeding cases aren’t about guilt—they’re about damage control. If you don’t show up with a plan, you’ll pay for it for years.”
