Speeding & Reckless Driving in Murfreesboro, TN
Speeding and reckless driving charges affect your license, your insurance, and — for serious offenses — your freedom. We fight to keep these convictions off your record.
What You're Facing
Most speeding tickets in Tennessee are civil infractions, but driving 15+ mph over the limit can be charged as reckless driving (T.C.A. § 55-10-205) — a Class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $500 fine. Tennessee assesses license points for moving violations, and accumulating 12 points within 12 months triggers a license suspension hearing. Insurance rates typically jump 20–40% after a moving violation conviction and stay elevated for 3 to 5 years.
How We Build Your Defense
- Radar and lidar challenges — calibration logs, officer training records, and operator certifications can all be subpoenaed and contested
- Pacing technique scrutiny — when no radar was used, officers rely on visual estimation and pacing, both of which are subject to attack
- Negotiation for non-moving violations — we frequently negotiate moving violations down to non-moving offenses that carry no points and no insurance impact
- Driver's school and deferral programs — for eligible drivers, we pursue dismissal through court-approved driver improvement courses
- Trial when warranted — most prosecutors expect drivers to plead; appearing prepared for trial frequently produces better resolutions
Why a Former Prosecutor Makes a Difference
Before founding Quinn Rodriguez Law PLLC, Quinn Rodriguez served as a police officer and as an Assistant District Attorney in the 16th Judicial District. He has sat on both sides of these cases — he knows the arguments prosecutors make, the evidence they rely on, and the weaknesses they try to hide. For speeding & reckless driving cases, that insider knowledge translates into more effective challenges, smarter negotiations, and stronger results for clients throughout Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee.
