Traffic Violations



Most traffic violations are considered minor criminal offenses; although some offenses, such as DUI or DWI are taken quite seriously. Even minor mechanical or speeding violations can have serious consequences, leading up to your license being suspended if you have several infractions over a short period of time. Frequently, you will have to pay the fine listed on the face of the ticket, and there is also a strong possibility that your vehicle insurance premiums will increase. It's recommended that you contact a traffic violation lawyer prior to appearing at court regarding the traffic violation or speeding violations.

Is a police officer allowed to impound a minors car, without notifying the legal owner of the car?
I was pulled over for expired tags. I am insured under the car, but my insurance card was a little watered down, making the expiration date hard to see. The officer said he wouldn't accept it and called to tow my car. He did so without notifying my mom or dad, who are both under the title. I was just wondering if this is legal.
Can I fight three tickets received from being pulled over due to a late surcharge payment suspension
I had surcharge payments from a previous driving with suspended license ticket from late parking tickets which was downgraded. So i payed year one. Then year two bill came and i decided to talk about it with someone at DMV before paying a bill that I thought was a one time charge. In the process of finding time to visit DMV this paper was lost. So I tried going to DMV site to see what I owed. It showed nothing so I thought I was good. Then I received a notice of proposed suspension that had a proposed suspension date a few days before I received the letter. So i payed the surcharge as quickly as possible but not realizing that my license was already suspended I was pulled over for it. But the tickets I was given were Unlicensed Drive, Driving while revoked, failure to surrender revoked DL
Can a policeman from a different municipality give me a traffic ticket in another municipality?
A Mount Laurel policeman pulled up next to me and looked over to see a bad inspecton sticker. He then waited for me to pull away and then pulled behind me and pulled me over. One; I had a 30 day temp tag and he would have seen that if he was following me in his area. 2. He saw me and pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets while I was in Maple Shade from the moment he saw me to the moment he pulled me over.
