Traffic Court Tips

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

• Call the courts immediately and 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.
• Read the back of your ticket carefully. Many states throughout the nation have implemented some very sneaky and deceptive practices when it comes to traffic tickets. You could be falling into a trap if you don’t read the fine print on the back of your traffic ticket.
• 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.
• Determine your chance of winning. Not every ticket has the same chance of being beat in traffic court. Some, like running a red light, rolling stops at stop signs, speeding through school zones or speeds in excess of 40 or 50 mph over the limit are difficult to beat. If your ticket doesn’t fall into any one of these categories, then you have a great chance at beating your traffic ticket.
• 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.

• See if you can take a traffic school class. One alternative to fighting your traffic ticket would be to go to traffic school (AKA driver’s safety course). Many states across the nation are beginning to see the importance of offering such an option to traffic offenders. After you have finished your course (usually 8 hours long), your traffic ticket will be officially wiped from your record. But beware; there are certain times when you shouldn’t go to traffic school.

• Plead Not Guilty. The exact procedure differs throughout the country. Review your ticket for more details.
• 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.). This is very important. Once you know what method was used, you can formulate your defense strategy.
• Prepare your defense. These traffic court tips don't mean a thing if you don't prepare. Preparation is essential if you want to beat your traffic ticket. Just going to court without a plan of defense is foolish and you can expect to lose.
• 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.

• Sit in on a court case. If you can find the time, I highly recommend going to the traffic court a few days before your trial date and attending a few courtroom cases. This will prepare you for when you go to fight your ticket.
  
  Pay particularly close attention to the police officers and prosecutor. Their method of operation is the same for everybody and you should expect to see the same routine for your case.
