How To Deal With A Traffic Violation

July 13, 2018 by Lynn

If you’ve recently incurred a traffic violation and you’re curious about what options you have, simply continue reading to discover how to deal with a recent traffic violation!

How to deal with a traffic violation:

  1. If you have been served with a traffic violation for not having your license on you, it’s well worth scheduling a court date to contest your traffic violation.

You might not be aware that if you’re able to provide a license at your hearing which was valid on the date that you were issued a traffic violation for being unable to produce your license your traffic violation will be dropped and you’ll avoid having to pay a fine.

  1. If you don’t think the officer who issued your traffic violation has valid evidence of your infringement, it’s also well worth contesting your traffic violation

In order for a traffic infringement to hold up at a court hearing, the office which issued your traffic violation has to be able to convince the judge that you were guilty of a traffic violation. Which means that you’ll be able to question a police officer, to see whether or not their version of events will hold up in a court of law.

As an example, if an officer tries to give you a traffic violation for failing to stop at a stop sign and they have no video evidence of your infraction and no witnesses can attest to their version of events, you’re very likely to have your traffic violation dropped.

  1. If the thought of contesting a traffic violation in court makes you nervous, make sure to hire an experienced lawyer

If you’re worried that you’ll struggle to defend yourself in a court of law, it’s still worth contesting your traffic violation. As you always have the option of hiring a defense lawyer, who may be able to get your traffic violation thrown out, on the count of a technicality. As an example, if a police officer was parked illegally on the side of the motorway, trying to catch speeding cars, your lawyer may be able to get the charge against your dropped. If you need more information you can find out more about traffic law at, www.primelawyers.com.au/traffic-law in order to help you out with your current case.

  1. Get your lawyer to poke holes in the prosecution’s case

In much the same way, an experienced lawyer will have no issues with tearing apart the police officer who dealt you a traffic violation’s version of events. As a great lawyer will easily be able to poke holes in a police officer’s story. Which will increase your judge’s chances of dropping all charges against you.

  1. Have a defense ready to justify your accounts

If you are guilty of committing a traffic violation, you may still be able to get your case dismissed by having a defense ready to justify your actions. As an example, if you broke a road rule in order to miss hitting a child who was running across the street, it’s highly unlikely that a judge would find you guilty of committing a traffic violation.

So if you’ve recently found a traffic violation in your letterbox, it’s definitely worth disputing it as there is a high chance that you’ll be successful! Just remember to, drive safely and follow the road rules.
