Some traffic violations, like many small misdemeanor traffic offenses, are pretty easy to get out of. If you can’t convince the police officer who pulled you over that you broke the law for a good reason, then there are still plenty of creative and reasonable arguments you can use after you receive the ticket.
Other traffic violations, on the other hand, are a bit trickier fight — largely because there’s going to be some solid evidence against you. In many of these cases, you might just be aiming to get the charge reduced rather than taken away entirely; in all of these cases, you’ll want to consult a legal expert for help and advice before making any big decisions.
With that being said, here are two of the most common traffic violations that can be difficult to fight — and some ideas about how you could beat your ticket or have the charge reduced:
DWI and DUI tickets: Again, these traffic violations are tricky because the officer who arrested you probably has quite a bit of evidence against you, such as breathalyzer test results, BAC blood test results, and proof of failed sobriety tests. If you manage to get out of a traffic ticket here, it will usually be for some lapse in protocol on the officer’s part. You may be able to get your charges reduced, however, if you’re a first-time offender or if you agree to take substance abuse education classes.
Speeding tickets: Most people try fighting speeding tickets when the officer pulls them over, and you might be able to get out of a speeding ticket if you have a particularly good excuse or you’re dealing with a particularly nice officer. But if you think that the officer won’t be receptive, it’s best to stay polite and take the ticket. When you fight it later on, either through the mail or in court, you may be able to have a solid defense if you can prove that something was obstructing a speed limit sign (like a tree branch or car), or you might be able to prove that you avoided causing a bigger traffic accident by speeding up.
Keep in mind that these situations and defenses are simply starting points — they aren’t guaranteed solutions for every case. With any serious traffic violation, you should always consult a legal professional who has experience with the traffic laws in your state and can help you figure out the best plan for your situation.
