FAQs Of Fighting A Traffic Ticket
Tracy Roberts
When you receive a traffic ticket, you have the option of paying it or taking it to traffic court. If you feel that the ticket was unjustified and want to fight it, it is important that you carefully consider whether or not it would be in your best interests to do so. Before making your decision, here are some things to know.
What Happens If You Fight and Lose?
In the event that you do want to fight the ticket in court, you could lose out on more money than the fine initially was. Some states require a court fee. You also have to factor in whether or not you lost time at work pursuing the issue in court. For many people, the expenses are just not worth it.
However, if the ticket was not justified and you can have it tossed out by a judge, it can very well be worth it.
How Do You Decide?
One of the best ways to determine if you have a good chance of having the ticket overturned in court is by reviewing the state laws that apply to your particular situation. You need to understand what the legal foundation is for the ticket according to the state's laws and determine if your case meets the requirements for a fine. If not, it is possible that you did not deserve the ticket.
You also need to factor in just how good of a defense you have. The fact that the situation did not quite fit the state's laws might not be enough. If you have an additional defense, your chances of beating the ticket improve.
For instance, if you were stopped for speeding after you accelerated to move out of the way of an emergency vehicle, you could argue that you had no choice but to speed up and switch to the next lane.
Another aspect you should factor into your decision is how likely it is that the ticketing officer shows up at your trial. In some states, if the officer does not show up to testify, the judge will consider tossing the ticket. It is very likely that, if you were ticketed for a serious offense, such as DUI, the officer will show. However, if your offense was minor, you could catch a break and the officer not show.
To better assess whether or not you should pursue the issue in court, talk to a criminal traffic attorney. The attorney can help you assess the law and determine if the ticket was unwarranted.
