A moving violation is any violation of the law, committed by the driver of a vehicle, while it is in motion. The term "motion" distinguishes it from parking violations. While parking violations are charged against a vehicle (which will be towed if violations go unpaid or are frequent), moving violations are charged against the person driving. Moving violations are usually classified as infractions or misdemeanors, but serious violations can be considered felonies.
In most places, moving violations involve fines which must be paid as well as punitive points assessed to the license of the driver. As a driver accumulates points, he or she may be required to attend defensive driving lessons, re-take his or her driving test, or even surrender his or her license.
While the original intention of the fines was punitive, sometimes tickets are used for fundraising. For example, a local government that suffering a budget shortfall may ticket more aggressively within its jurisdiction to increase revenue. See:speed trap.
In the United States, citation fines are nominal dollar amounts which can vary widely between jurisdictions for the same behaviour, usually between $25 and $1000. In some countries, however, they are specific proportions of the violator's income, and fines in excess of $100,000 can be assessed to wealthy individuals.
These four customizable speedingticket defenses are further divided into 50 separate defenses by the addition of a file specific to your state.
If your speedingticket is not from the state that matches the address on your credit card, you must email us after purchase and tell us which state file you need for your speedingticket.
You choose your defense issues from the 15 sections based on your speedingticket specifics, select case law from the categorized list that correspond to these issues (and copy for court) and fill in the blanks in the “read in court” script with issues such as the street name and posted speed limit.
Should you decide to fight your traffic or speedingticket and your case is dismissed or found not guilty, then you can expect to receive a refund check from the court.
While it may be possible for you to get your traffic or speedingticket dismissed based on an error but if you're betting that you would be found not guilty because the officer misspelled your name of your car or your name, then this will not help you.
In essence, a ticket is actually an accusatory document and the basis for prosecution which needs to be factually valid, however multiple errors could be grounds for dismissal.
