Fighting a Speeding Ticket & Traffic Violations

Wednesday, December 23, 2009 by Glenn A. McCandliss


Many drivers pay their speeding tickets and move on. But there is a possibility that a traffic ticket can be dismissed based on a technicality. If you receive a speeding ticket in Michigan, the first thing you should do is contact a Warren traffic attorney. Contact the Law Offices of Glenn A. McCandliss to fight a speeding ticket in Warren, MI.

Since you are innocent until proven guilty, here is how you can help and try to beat that ticket:

  1. Be polite and cooperative when you get pulled over.
  2. Avoid admissions of guilt and never make excuses or create outlandish stories.
  3. Check your ticket for accuracy by reviewing it immediately upon receipt.
  4. Begin preparing your defense immediately, once the police officer has given you your ticket and left the scene.
  5. Read the fine print on the ticket after you get home, as there is useful information on there that might help you.
  6. Weigh the costs and benefits of contesting the citation.

Traffic ticket lawyers have certain strategies based on the information you collect from above.
They can beat a speeding ticket or traffic violation by:

  1. Challenge the officer's subjective judgment as to whether you violated the law.
  2. Challenge the officer's objective judgment as to whether you violated the law.
  3. Show that you made an honest and reasonable error.

  5. Prove your conduct was necessary to avoid harm.
