Tactics to Beat a Traffic Ticket
First of all, the simplest and most efficient way to beat a traffic ticket is to use the services of Ticket Busters at TicketBust.com. However, if you want to spend a bunch of time researching and then fighting the ticket on your own, the following may help.
Almost everyone will tell you that the first thing you need to do is understand exactly what the violation is that you are accused of. Often there are stipulations that the officer may have missed and, if any of the stipulations have not been met, you will beat the traffic ticket.
Some experts recommend contacting the issuing officer and requesting that the ticket be dismissed. Most of us don’t know that an officer has the authority to revoke the ticket up until the day in court. Why not, it can’t hurt to ask right? Or, you may choose to follow the school that recommends NOT bringing undue attention to yourself for fear that the officer will remember you and will intentionally stay on top of your court date. You be the judge for this recommendation.
Next, many experts will tell you that all it takes to beat a traffic ticket is to get your court date postponed. If nothing else, a postponement will delay the points being added to your record and your insurance premiums getting hiked. Many suggest that you also request a ‘trial by jury’. Apparently the crowded courts will further delay the postponement date. Obviously, the more you are able to postpone the court date the less likely it is that the officer will show up. Many judges will simply drop the case if the officer doesn’t show up because you have no way of questioning your accuser which is your constitutional right. For this same reason, many camera-issued tickets are dismissed. You cannot question an inanimate object so you are able to beat a traffic ticket if issued via a camera. People are afraid of court, but if you can muster the courage and have a camera-issued ticket, you can object to the testimony of the officer that viewed the camera picture by simply saying “I object, as this is hearsay.” By having the courage to do this you will beat the traffic ticket.
Of course there is always traffic school or a high priced attorney.
Another tactic to beat your traffic ticket is to contact the authorities and request all the information you can about the officer, the radar gun (if any), the car that the officer was driving. This tactic is used to try and find any loophole that you can to be used in your defense in court.
While all of these are admirable ideas, the best idea is to simply use the services of Ticket Busters at TicketBust.com. They guarantee you will beat your traffic ticket if you follow their guidelines. This means no nasty fines, no points on your driving record and no increased premiums on your auto insurance.
