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. The questions below give information and options if you want to resolve, contest, or reopen a citation. Dear Judge Jones, I am requestsing an extension of time to complete defensive driving concerning this ticket. Minnesota residents have the right to appear in court to fight a traffic ticket. They also have the right to request a jury trial. The Violations Bureau handles in-person fine payments and answers questions about tickets. When fighting a traffic ticket, you need a solid argument in place.
