Traffic Violations in Colorado

Colorado uses a points-based system where 12 points within 12 months (adults) triggers license suspension. Most speeding violations carry 1-6 points with fines of $150-$500. Traffic attorneys charge $150-$375. Colorado has specific aggressive driving statutes and careless driving charges. Speeding 25+ mph over the limit can result in a reckless driving charge (Class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense carrying up to 90 days jail). Colorado has photo radar speed enforcement in some municipalities, though legislation has attempted to restrict this. Texting while driving is a Class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense.
