How to get a Traffic Ticket Dismissed

It is possible for even the most careful of drivers to receive a ticket. A ticket can be dismissed in a number of ways. If a traffic ticket threatens your driving privileges, your insurance premiums, your bank account, or even your livelihood, you might want to consider fighting it. It's not exactly a fun field trip to be called to testify in court. For the best chance of success, you need to prepare extensively. You need a dependable plan if you want to successfully contest your ticket.

The court will order you to appear if you have been cited for a misdemeanor violation. Traffic infractions are most often minor. If you receive an infraction ticket, you have several options on how to handle it. A failure to appear violation may result in your driving privilege being suspended or revoked, as well as additional fines added to your ticket if you don't take one of the following actions by your court appearance date.

It is possible for a traffic ticket to be dismissed by a court for many reasons. When it comes to citations, there may be an instance in which they are invalid, for example:

  • The officer does not appear in court.
    In order to prove what the officer says you did, the officer must present evidence. If the officer does not appear, the court will have no choice but to dismiss your ticket.
  • The ticket contains an error.
    There is a possibility of dismissal if the ticket has missing or incorrect information. In the case of an officer's error on the ticket, you may be able to avoid a conviction by bringing that error to the court's attention.
  • A faulty piece of equipment.
    Occasionally, a court will throw out tickets if an officer's radar gun or red light camera failed to work as intended.
