WHAT IS A TRAFFIC INFRACTION?

A traffic infraction is the most common type of traffic ticket and may or may not require a court hearing. Usually, court hearings are optional and you can do everything through the mail. This is normally the type of traffic ticket you’ll receive for speeding, rolling a stop sign, driving while license suspended, or other minor traffic offenses. These offenses are linked to your driving record, may cause “points” to accrue on your record, and your insurance company (or anyone else who wants to pull up your driving history) will be able to see this ticket if you are found guilty. If you have a relatively clean driving history, a traffic infraction can almost always be taken care.

In cases where your state law requires an objective observation by the officer (not a judgment call about whether your action was safe), it often boils down to an argument about whose version of the facts is correct. For instance, if you were cited for driving while license is suspended who wins the case will depend on who the judge believes. Unfortunately, the guy wearing the badge usually wins, unless you can cast real doubt on his ability to accurately perceive what happened. However, there are a number of techniques that may work to raise at least a reasonable doubt as to your guilt.

As always, the best way to fight a traffic infraction is to consult an experienced traffic lawyer. Hire one and let him take care of your traffic infraction worries today.
