Traffic Tickets
Traffic Tickets
The overwhelming majority of traffic tickets are Class C Misdemeanors, punishable by a fine only, usually up to $500 plus court costs and state fees. The most common Traffic Tickets cases involve speeding, running a red light or stop sign, and failing to yield.
What You Need to Know
Traffic Ticket convictions can accumulate to suspend a person's driver's license. Also, while defensive driving is sometimes an option, the courts limit how many times a person can complete defensive driving within a certain time frame. It's always best to try and avoid a conviction when possible considering increased insurance fees, DPS fees -- especially if the cost is near the same as just paying the ticket.
Defenses for Traffic Tickets
Every type of Class C traffic ticket will have its own types of defenses. Viewing the patrol car video from the officer, as well as reviewing the scene, reports, and dispatch logs, will all factor into the potential defenses.
