I need to ask the judge to accept my certificate once more so my insurance rates will go back to their normal cost. Writing an appeal letter to the court about your traffic ticket is the first thing you need to do in order to get a violation dismissed.Dear Honorable Judge, My name is Michael . I have been a safe responsible driver with a clean driving record for a little over five years now. Dear Judge Jones, I am requesting a second extension of time to complete defensive driving concerning this ticket. Most infraction violations must be paid within 30 calendar days from the date the ticket was issued. Please read your citation for instructions. You need to fill out the right side of the ticket completely (including your current mailing address) and sign it. I'm writing you to request that the following fines in your court be recalled from collections and set a payment plan. You want to "reinstate" a traffic ticket.
