Speeding charges in Tennessee
Speeding is charged when an officer alleges you drove faster than the posted or presumed limit, typically measured by radar, lidar, or pacing. It is the most common moving violation and the one most often reduced or dismissed with the right defense. In Tennessee, a conviction adds demerit points toward the Tennessee Department of Safety suspension threshold of 12 points in 12 months, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
Why fight your Speeding ticket?
Defenses that actually work
Attorneys frequently challenge radar/lidar calibration logs, the officer's training and line of sight, pacing accuracy, and whether the posted limit was properly signed.
What's at stake in Tennessee
A speeding conviction adds points in most states and is the leading cause of avoidable insurance surcharges. In Tennessee, points accumulate toward suspension at 12 points in 12 months.
Prevent insurance increases
A speeding conviction can raise Tennessee premiums by roughly 26% — often for three years. Fighting the ticket can prevent that.
Flat fee, no financial risk
