Wisconsin implements a point system for drivers who have violated certain traffic rules. When you accumulate 12 or more demerit points within a 12-month period, your driving privilege will be suspended.
A non-moving violation may include a parking infraction or an equipment failure such as having a headlight out. Typically, the penalties for a non-moving violation in Wisconsin are a fine with some citations possibly incurring points. For example, a broken speedometer is a 2-point violation as is unlawfully tinted car windows. If you're facing a traffic charge, be sure to contact Bayer Law Offices.

The type of driver license you have determines the requirements and timeframe of a suspension.
Any person who is convicted of a Failure to Yield violation or certain other Right-of-Way violations is required to successfully complete a Right-of-Way course.
In Wisconsin, points can remain on your record for a period of 5 years. It’s important to note that the state looks at the date of the violation when determining the number of points accrued in a year as opposed to when the conviction was made. Additionally, it is possible for certain traffic violations to be removed from a record after 5 years from when the individual was found guilty.
Wisconsin also offers individuals the ability to attend specific traffic safety courses to receive a reduction in their points every 3 years.
In Wisconsin, drivers are required to have a valid license when operating a vehicle. If an officer pulls a driver over without a license they could potentially face varying penalties depending on the charge. For example, if an individual is found to be an unlicensed driver operating a vehicle, they could receive a fine and even jail time depending on how many past offenses they have.
If an individual has a valid license, but it’s just not on their person when pulled over, they could receive a fine of $200. However, the charge and fine could be removed upon the driver bringing their license into the police department.

"I was stopped for 20 over in a 30mph zone - a 6 point $149ticket. Attorney John Bayer had an affordable price and guaranteed that he could get it reduced to a 2 point defective speedometer ticket. All it took was a 5 minute phone call conversation to finalize things. He was able to attend court for me and he was able to get my ticket reduced to a 2 point parking violation. John is very friendly and made this process as easy as possible. I am beyond grateful for the outcome and I will be recommending him to everyone I know in the future."
"I was facing a fair amount of time as a guest of the state at the graybar hotel. Atty Bayer fought the good fight for me. He found a potential loophole in the law that he felt could get the charge against me dropped. The judge did not interpret the law the way Atty Bayer did, so unfortunately I lost the case. But because of the fight Atty Bayer put up, combined with other contributing factors of my case, I only got 1 year as a guest of the state. Not bad for a 6th offense, in Milwaukee county. I swear by Atty Bayer. He is a great attorney, & a really compassionate & kind man."
"Honestly one of he easiest interactions I’ve ever had with a lawyer. They stepped up handled my speeding tickets and anxiety about it no problem. Everything was handled in one call, they updated me through the whole process. Make them your first call for any kind of traffic trouble."
