Featured ResourceAre You Overpaying for Car Insurance?

PA Traffic Ticket Fines and Costs

Under normal circumstances, all traffic tickets cost the same throughout the state. Fines are determined by violation, and those fines are the same throughout Pennsylvania. Refer to the state for a full list of PA traffic fines.

Most tickets have the exact fine printed on them; check your ticket for your fine. If you've misplaced your ticket, refer to our section on replacing lost traffic tickets.

Surcharges

Conveniently, court costs and other surcharges are―typically―the same throughout the state, too. This is because the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts (AOPC) sets a uniform standard.

If your ticket doesn't include any information about court costs and other surcharges, contact your county court for more information.

DUI Surcharges

Pennsylvania has a multi-tier system of DUI fines and penalties. Generally, these do not vary by town, city, or county.

General Impairment: 0.08% to 0.099%: $300 to $5,000, depending on offense number.
High: BAC 0.10% to 0.159%: $500 to $10,000, depending on offense number.
Highest: BAC 0.16% and higher: $1,000 to $10,000, depending on offense number.

NOTE: These fines are only the beginning. Depending on your BAC and the offense number, you'll also face penalties including but not limited to license suspension, jail time, enrollment in alcohol highway safety school, a treatment program, and an ignition interlock system.

For more information on the fines and penalties associated with DUI, check out Section Four of Pennsylvania's Driver's Manual.

Auto Insurance Rate Increase

Some drivers experience an increase in their auto insurance rates; it's a sort of residual penalty for committing a traffic offense.

Talk with your provider about a possible increase; if you find out you will be penalized, start shopping for lower car insurance rates online.

Pennsylvania Traffic Ticket Penalties

Overall, penalties remain the same throughout the state. Check out the state's full list of PA traffic fines.

Pennsylvania Point System

Pennsylvania puts points on your driving record for each traffic violation of which you're found guilty. Points range from 2 to 5, but you can accumulate many more depending on how many violations you get during a single traffic stop.

Once you accumulate a certain number of points (see below), the state will take action to both improve your driving skills and help you lower your driving record points and avoid driver's license suspension.

PA Driver's License Suspension and Revocation

Some violations lead to automatic, mandatory license suspension or revocation. These can be based on driving record points, criminal convictions, or failure to satisfy a court order or judgment.

License Suspension: Typically, license suspensions are for a specific, predetermined period of time. Sometimes you might have to satisfy requirements to get your license back; other times you might not.

License Revocation: Often, license revocations are for undetermined periods of time. Usually, a driver with a revoked license will have to meet certain requirements before having his license reinstated.

Point accumulation is a common reason for license suspension. Pennsylvania can suspend your license for:

When any driver reaches or more, their driver's license will automatically be suspended.Accumulating 6 points (as a 1st offense) and not passing the PennDOT-ordered exam within 30 days of notification. Accumulating 6 points (as a 2nd or 3rd offense; generally, hearings take place before the suspensions occur). 11 points

Section Four of Pennsylvania's Driver's Manual provides information about the various ways a driver can lose his license to suspension or revocation (unrelated to points).

Examples include:

DUI violations.
Committing a felony with a vehicle.
Committing a homicide with a vehicle.
Reckless driving.
Fleeing from a police officer.
Driving with an already suspended or revoked license.
Failure to stop for a school bus with flashing red lights.

Penalties for Drivers Younger than 21 Years Old

If you're younger than 21 years old, you're considered to be driving under the influence if you have a BAC of 0.02% or higher and are at risk for license suspension, fines, and even jail time. The severity depends on the offense (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or subsequent), but understand that even a 1st offense can get you:

A jail sentence from 2 days to 6 months, $500 to $5,000 in fines. and a 1 year license suspension.

Check the Section Four of Pennsylvania's Driver's Manual for more information on how the state handles for drivers under 21 years old in regard to DUI.
