When you get a traffic infraction call
or a ticket, you must act before the due date on your “Notice to Appear” runs
out. You may get a courtesy notice in the mail from your court that tells you
your options. However, it is best for you to know more about this rather than
depending on your notice alone. When you have not attended to your traffic
infraction immediately, consequences such as having your license suspended and
having additional charges such as misdemeanor and receiving a warrant might be
ahead of you.
Admitting responsibility for the traffic
infraction ticket is generally done by entering the plea of no contest. This
technically is not admitting or denying responsibility, but simply paying a
fine. Paying the fine is done one of two ways; by mail or in person on or
before your court date. If there is not a fine listed on the citation, there is
typically a number listed on the traffic infraction notice, which will provide
information as to the cost of the ticket and where to spend payment.
There is another way in fighting a
traffic infraction and that is asking for professional help. There are different
ways through which a traffic attorney can help when you are charged with a traffic
infraction. They can list to the details of your situation and analyze your
legal position. They can offer you the pros and cons of several alternate
courses of actions. Your attorney will gather facts and information from you
and evaluate all aspects of the traffic offense you are charged with. An
experienced attorney will evaluate all legal defenses available in your
case. These can include mistakes and
inaccuracies by the arresting officer, or other technical defenses that may be
relevant.
In this situation, take time to
meet with your attorneys who specialize in the laws governing traffic
infractions. A well-experienced attorney will help you to understand the legal
battle before you and will guide you through the legal process. When you are
interviewing potential attorneys, be sure to take not of their experience in handling
similar cases. Be sure to find out how many cases he or she has won and if
those are similar cases to yours.
