If you want to know how to fight traffic tickets, try to not get them. Traffic tickets can cost a person a small fortune. Not that the ticket itself is not bad enough, but it only scratches the surface. Too many will increase insurance rates, and even sometimes cause insurance cancellation. If you are able to find another company that will take you, the cost will be outrageous. Missed work, loss of license, loss of vehicle, and job, are all potential outcome of too many tickets.
When you see the lights flashing in the rear view mirror, always pull over in a safe spot as soon as possible. Be sure to use your directional signal when doing this. Once safely stopped, put on the hazard lights.
Shut the radio off immediately. Even if it is your favorite oldies song that they almost never play, do not just turn it down. Anything which seems like it may have distracted from your driving could result in getting a ticket.
Open the vehicle’s window before the officer approaches the vehicle. If he or she has to motion for you to do so, you already have a problem. Keep your hands on the steering wheel unless you are asked to get your license and registration. Then, do not simply reach out for them. Understandably this will create concern in an individual who works a potentially dangerous job. Instead say to the officer “they are in the glove box, my purse, in the back seat, etc.”.
Keep all passengers quiet and seated while the officer is at your vehicle. Do not allow anyone, including yourself to attempt to open any doors. Some individuals have made this mistake, and it did not end well.
Do not admit guilt. If you are asked if you know why you were stopped, it is best to say no. If you answer with “oh, yes, it is because I cut off that car, but I did not mean to “, you could have a problem. Once you said you did it, it is admissible in court, and no longer needs to be proved. Be sure to plead not guilty, and have a reasonable, well formed defense prepared. Some people have actually been known to win a case because the officer did not show up. Apparently the case was delayed so many times, they could put no more effort or time into the matter.
Remember, if you want to avoid traffic tickets always be polite and respectful to the officer that pulls you over.
