Traffic Court Tips

Here are some good tips to follow before you go to traffic court.

By Damon Dallah

The following tips will give you an edge when fighting your traffic ticket in court.

Tip #1
Use the secret given in Beat the System to greatly increase the chances the officer won't show.
If he doesn’t show up for court, your case will be dismissed. Quite possibly the easiest way to beat your ticket.

Tip #2
Review your traffic ticket for any mistakes.
Petty mistakes will be overlooked, however major ones (that are present on 1 in every 25 tickets) will make the ticket inadmissible in court. I point out what types of mistakes to look for in Beat the System.

Tip #3
Try to plea bargain.
If you feel the type of ticket you have will be hard to fight in court, see if you can strike a deal with the prosecutor. Call the clerk courts and tell them you are interested in speaking with the prosecutor to strike some sort of deal. Get more information on plea bargaining here.

Tip #4
Check method of speed capture.
If you have a speeding ticket, check and see what method was used to clock your speed (radar, laser, VASCAR, pacing, etc.). It will be written somewhere on the ticket the exact measuring device used. Once you know what method was used, you can begin to formulate your defense strategy.

Tip #5
Get a copy of your driving record.
There are many advantages to getting your driving record that many people neglect to realize. Read the whole story as to why you need your driving record.

Tip #6
See if you can take a traffic school class.
One alternative to fighting your ticket would be to go to traffic school (AKA driver's safety course). Many states across the nation are beginning to offer this option to traffic offenders. After you have finished your course (usually 8 hours long), your traffic ticket will be officially wiped clean from your record. But beware; there are certain times when you shouldn't go to traffic school.

Tip #7
Dress to impress.
Since you will be in a court of law, it only makes sense to arrive clean and well presentable in appearance. You don't have to necessarily wear a suit and tie, but first impressions are vital to winning your case.

In a situation where things can go either way, the judge will rely heavily on your appearance and manner to render his decision.

Always arrive on time and prepared. If your case is called and you are not present, you will be found guilty or worse yet, have a bench warrant out for your arrest.
Always address the judge as Your Honor or Judge.
Never engage in loud or disruptive behavior. You are only damaging your case and increasing the chance of getting hit with contempt of court which may carry jail time.
Take off your hat and sunglasses inside the courtroom.
Avoid wearing bright colors.
If you are a guy, avoid wearing excessive jewelry. If you have long hair, wrap it up in a pony tail. Remove all earrings prior to going to court. Also, both men and women should remove lip, nose and eye rings. All judges will be critiquing you on your physical appearance.
