FAQ

Fighting the Ticket: To contest a traffic ticket in California, you need to plead 'not guilty. ' This can usually be done by mail or in person at the court listed on your ticket. You'll then be given a court date for your trial.

You should always plead no contest, if you can. A no contest plea mean that you do not contest the charges. The court still finds you guilty, but the conviction can't be used against you in a civil lawsuit. For example, if you are in a car accident and get cited, you would want to plead no contest to the citation.

However, if you acknowledge that you were speeding but want to avoid the potential consequences of a trial, opting for a no contest plea might be more suitable. On the other hand, if you genuinely believe you are innocent and wish to challenge the ticket in court, pleading not guilty would be the appropriate choice.

The main reason to contest all traffic tickets is to make sure your driving record stays clean. This will help you avoid any serious issues down the road (no pun intended.) With multiple violations, the stakes rise quickly.

Answer: To ask a judge to reduce a ticket, you should attend your court hearing punctually and present a polite and concise request, explaining any mitigating circumstances or evidence. It's also beneficial to demonstrate a clean driving record and express willingness to attend a traffic school if necessary.

Typically there's no specific format required, and you don't have to indicate or explain your defenses – you simply can state that you plead not guilty, just as you would if you attended an arraignment in person.

Best answer: Don't lie to the judge. Admit your mistake and tell the judge you were preoccupied with getting to your destination on time. You apologize for the oversight. He will be so pleased with your response he may dismiss the ticket!

Your letter should contain essential elements such as your contact information, the date, the name of the person or department you're addressing, the case number, a formal request for the dismissal of charges, and your reasons for the request.
