Many drivers give up once they have been pulled over and handed a ticket. Most courts believe that 9 times out of 10, the driver will simply give in and pay the ticket, thus providing fast and easy revenue. However, if only a little time and energy is invested into fighting the ticket, the court process slows and a chance to repeal the ticket is allowed. Once the ticket is repealed it is as if it never happened, so none of the fines or records are kept. If it is a first time offense, many counties offer to waive the ticket by attending driving school. If this option isn’t available, there are still many alternatives to fight the ticket both inside and outside of court.
Before even stepping in front the judge, delaying the trial is very effective. Hiring an attorney to have in court greatly improves the chances of repealing the ticket. It is also possible to bypass the court entirely with “trial by declaration”. A detailed, well-written defense has a good chance since the officer will seldom send in his/ her own written rebuttal. The driver can win by default since the argument will seem one-sided and thus, completely in the driver’s defense.
