I am writing in regard to the traffic ticket I received on [Date of Offense] in [City/County], South Dakota. I am requesting a trial date to contest the issuance of this traffic ticket. Furthermore, I would like to explain the circumstances of the alleged violation and present my assertions before the court. As a responsible driver, I believe it is crucial to exercise my right to challenge this ticket and provide evidence and witness testimonies in my defense. It is important to note that I fully respect the work of law enforcement officers and the need for traffic regulations to ensure road safety. However, I firmly believe that I was incorrectly charged in this particular case. To substantiate my claims, I intend to provide: 1. Eyewitness Testimonies: I have identified two individuals who were present at the time of the alleged offense and are willing to testify on my behalf. 2. Surveillance Footage: I have reason to believe there may be surveillance footage from nearby establishments that captured the incident. It is crucial to review this footage to provide an accurate account of the events leading up to the alleged violation. 3. Maintenance Records: I will present proof of regular maintenance and calibration of my vehicle's speedometer, which will support my case by disproving the accuracy of the speed measurement used to issue the ticket. Additionally, I kindly request that the court provide me with the opportunity to review all evidence and documentation related to this case within a reasonable time frame prior to the trial date. This will allow me to prepare an effective defense and ensure a fair and just proceeding. I understand the necessary procedures involved in scheduling a trial and the need to accommodate my request in a manner that suits the court's availability. I am willing to work with you to find a mutually convenient date and time for the trial. Please inform me of the trial date and any relevant procedures or documentation I may need to adhere to before the trial. I appreciate your attention to this matter and your prompt response. Should you require any further information or documentation from me, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address].
