CIVIL TRAFFIC TICKETS

Civil tickets include ordinary civil speeding violations, running a stop sign, improper lane change, and many other similar things.  Photo radar tickets for speeding or red light running are civil.

One common way for a person to get a civil ticket dismissed is to take a Defensive Driving Class.  A person can take the class once every 12 months. Another option is to set the matter for a hearing and argue the facts of a specific case.  Another idea for photo radar cases is to wait to be personally served.  You can search on the Internet for a variety of ways to challenge civil traffic tickets.  Generally, the cost of hiring an attorney exceeds the cost of a civil ticket so most individuals handle such tickets themselves.
