Techniques to Help Fight Traffic Tickets
Traffic tickets can stick with you for a while. Some states will keep this violation on your record for 2 or 3 years. You will also face higher insurance premiums, once you have paid the expensive fee that often accompanies a violation. If you feel that you were unjustly served a violation, there are a number of techniques you can use in court in order to prevent this violation from sticking to your record.
Typically, a violation is given due to the subjective judgment of a police office. Challenge this view, but make sure to use facts to back up your argument to make it reasonable. When you only depend on your word versus the officer’s word, the judge will most likely side with the officer. For instance, challenge where the officer was located, and how this may have hindered his viewpoint of what actually happened.
There are practical steps you can take to create doubt in a judge’s mind. Remember; do not only rely on your words and your version of the story. Gather real information and facts to build your case.
Example of case building can be the gathering of eyewitness statements. Take statements from bystanders or the passenger in the car, who may be willing to testify on your behalf. Present a simple and easy to understand diagram of the location of the incident. This may be particularly helpful if you are disputing an incident that involves an intersection. Consult assistance with a professional criminal lawyer if you feel unprepared for your trial.
Present pictures of road signs or conditions that may have provoked your driving. These pictures can be used to show unclear road signs, such as a stop sign covered by a tree, etc. You can also use this strategy to show that the officer may not have had a clear vantage point of what supposed driving violation you committed, from where the police car was parked.
Prove to the judge that you made an honest, unintentional mistake. This may happen if you failed to stop at a pedestrian stop because the strips were faded. You may have missed a stop sign that has just been placed. With this strategy you are building a case that you could not have known what action was required of you, since the conditions were so unclear.
Sometimes you may have had to actually do what you are being violated for. In this case, you may seek legal justification. For instance, you may have been driving slowly in the left lane because you were preparing for a legal left turn. You may have switched lanes without using a signal because a car was closing in on you quickly, and you were afraid of being part of an accident.
It may seem that fighting traffic tickets are a lost cause, but not fighting them may become a burden to your wallet. You will have to pay the fee that is associated with the violation. Then, you can also expect to pay higher premium rates on your automobile insurance. In addition, you can also expect demerit points placed on your license. Depending on your state these points may stay on your license anywhere from 2-3 years.
