Q: Am I responsible?
I recently found out that I have an unpaid speeding ticket from April and that my license has been suspended, I haven’t driven since March because I was having seizures, I let my old roommate use my car She was also arrested for False informing by trying to use my license. She told me that she had gotten pulled over but that she would take care of the ticket. Apparently she didn’t, am I responsible for this ticket?
A: You very well may be. Tickets are civil and need to be proven only by a preponderance of the evidence. You should consider talking to a local attorney who can assist with resolving the matter and keeping your record clean, also to clean up any reasons for suspension.
