A 6-Point Speeding Ticket Can Have Consequences Beyond the Fine
At Schwaner Law, we represent drivers who want to take their citation seriously and make an informed decision before pleading guilty. In some cases, the right strategy may involve negotiating for a reduction. In others, it may mean contesting how the officer measured speed, how the stop was handled, or whether the facts support the charge.
If your case involves broader criminal allegations or related offenses, visit our Criminal Defense page. If your traffic stop also involved alcohol-related allegations, learn more about our DUI Defense representation.

What Makes a 6-Point Speeding Ticket So Serious?
A high-point speeding citation can create problems that go far beyond paying a fine. Depending on your driving history and the facts of the stop, a serious speeding charge may put you much closer to a suspension and make it harder to absorb future traffic issues without major consequences.
Drivers often come to us because they are concerned about:
- protecting a commercial or work-related driving record
- avoiding a buildup of points that could threaten their license
- reducing the risk of higher insurance premiums
- keeping a traffic case from becoming more disruptive than it needs to be
- understanding whether the ticket should be challenged or negotiated
If you already have prior points on your record, the right approach becomes even more important.
Common Defense Strategies in Serious Speeding Cases
Depending on the case, a defense strategy may involve:
Challenging the Speed Measurement
Radar, laser, pacing, and visual estimation are not beyond question. We may examine whether the speed-reading method was reliable, properly used, and adequately supported.
Reviewing the Traffic Stop
The details of the stop matter. We look at where the stop happened, how the officer described the situation, and whether the evidence is consistent.
Negotiating for a Reduction
Not every case should go to trial. In some situations, the most practical path is to seek a reduction in the charge or a result that lessens the impact on your record.
Preparing for a Hearing
If contesting the ticket is the right move, we can prepare you for the hearing process and build a defense designed around the facts of your case.
If your situation involves other allegations beyond speeding, our Criminal Defense page explains how we approach more serious charges. If the stop also led to domestic-related accusations or threat-based charges, you can also review our Domestic Violence Defense and Felony Menacing Defense pages.
What to Do After Receiving a 6-Point Ticket in Colorado Springs
The steps you take after receiving a serious speeding ticket can affect the outcome. Before you simply pay the citation, take time to understand what that decision may mean for your record.
Here are a few smart next steps:
Review the Citation Carefully
Make sure you understand what you were charged with, the court date or deadline, and any details about the alleged speed and location.
Avoid Admitting Fault Too Quickly
What feels like “just getting it over with” may have longer-term consequences than you expect.
Gather Basic Information
Write down what you remember about the stop, road conditions, traffic flow, signage, and anything unusual about the officer’s observations or equipment.

Frequantly Asked Questions
Get Quick Answers to Common Concerns
Should I just pay a 6-point speeding ticket?
Not before you understand the consequences. Paying a serious speeding ticket may seem convenient, but it can have lasting effects on your driving record and license exposure.
Can a speeding ticket be reduced?
In some cases, yes. The outcome depends on the facts, the evidence, your driving history, and how the case is handled.
Is it worth hiring a lawyer for a speeding ticket?
When the citation carries 6 points, threatens your license, or affects your work and insurance costs, legal representation can be worth it.
What if I already have points on my record?
That makes it even more important to understand your options before resolving the case.
Do you handle cases outside Colorado Springs?
Yes. Schwaner Law serves clients in Colorado and is based in Colorado Springs. You can contact the firm directly to discuss your citation and where it was issued.
