Beating Traffic Tickets

Beating traffic tickets is the goal of many offenders, but how do you do this. Do NOT think that your only option is to plead guilty and pay the fine. There are proven techniques to fighting your tickets. Here are several suggestions on getting starting with your battle:


  1. You are innocent until you are proven guilty. Do not forget this. It is the responsibility of the prosecution to prove you are guilty not for you to prove your innocence.

  2. Check to see if your officer showed up. If he did not show up then point this out to the judge. You have the right to face your accuser and if he is not there you have a good shot at getting your ticket dismissed.

  3. If you were pulled over and two officers were present during the stop, then BOTH officers must be in court. If one is not, motion for a dismissal. If it isn't granted, ask to cross examine the second officer who is not present in the courtroom. When they say he is not there, motion for a dismissal again.

  4. As many as 1 out of every 25 tickets have major mistakes. The mistakes may make the inadmissible in court. Point the mistake out to the Judge.

  5. If you feel like you cannot win your case then try to plea bargain with the prosecutor for a lesser offense, ideally a non-moving violation like a parking ticket.

  6. Be prepared when you go to court. Make sure you request the method of speed capture so that you can formulate your defense prior to walking into the court room.

  7. Obtain a copy of your driving record so that you know what the prosecution might use against you during the trial.

  8. If all else fails and you have some time to waste, see if you can take a traffic school class in exchange for the ticket not showing up on your record.

  9. Dress to impress. It never hurts to look presentable to the court and show up on time and prepared. Do not disrupt the court and use polite respectful behavior.

Beating traffic tickets is not the toughest challenge that you will face in your life. Stay focused and calm throughout the ordeal. Losing your head will not help you make your case.
