I passed two cars in a passing zone, but did 90mph in a 65 to do it. It’s a 6 point ticket. I have a court date set but was wondering what my penalties could be and if I should get a lawyer.
Should I go to court and talk to the judge about lowering points (possibly the fine too)? I've lived here (in CO) 10+ years & have never received a ticket. I'm normally a cruise control guy & don't speed. I support a family of 6 on 1 income (mine) and I drive for work... View More

It would be the prosecuting attorney to whom the request for the reduction in points could be made. You may improve your probability of getting a suitable reduction by proactively engaging in a traffic class offered through court approved providers such as CIMA or ISAE. Different jurisdictions...

If your name was mistakenly put on a traffic ticket intended for another person, the ticket may be dismissed. A new ticket may be issued in the correct name of the person for whom the ticket was intended.
Well, I went to renew my Texas drivers license today and was told that I can’t because of this ticket. How in the world do I even address this? What’s that statute of limitations?

A warrant in a traffic case will cause an OJW hold on your license. You will simply need to resolve the outstanding ticket. If you retain a Colorado attorney, they can file a motion asking to vacate the warrant and schedule the case for appearance and resolve the ticket. The clearing of the... View More

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Yes, it would be better for your attorney to find out from you, rather than to be confronted with the information in court for the first time. Good luck
I was having a customers which all of them agree with me that I make full stop. But the cop keep pushing on giving me a ticket, I wish I have a dash cam, but unfortunately don’t. So what can I do

Best is to get a traffic ticket attorney. Or you can plead not guilty and subpoena the Uber customers to testify that they saw you make a complete stop. But the Court is not obliged to believe them even if they show up. You will end up with unhappy customers who will complain to Uber. Thank you for... View More

The form notifies the juvenile and their parent or guardian of the option to attend a driver improvement program to avoid points on their driving record. While the absence of the... View More

You might be better off talking to the county. Most areas have ordinances regarding street parking. I imagine blocking driveways may be against your local ordinance.
It was believed this ticket was taken care of 15 years ago. In Maury county Tennessee. Recently found out there is no warrant but an amount of money owed. Is this past the statute of limitations or would I be able to set up a payment plan as I live paycheck to paycheck and live in another state... View More

You should probably go to court and request a reduction of the fines and enter a payment plan. This case arises under traffic ticket law. You need to discuss with an attorney in your jurisdiction that specializes in this kind of law. Thank you for using Justia, Ask a Lawyer.

I think this is more Criminal Law than traffic tickets, you have not indicated that you were cited for any vehicle code violation, although having illegal substances in the care can ALSO be a VC violation. Contact a criminal defense attorney in the area in which you were cited.

Sorry to hear that this happened to you but pleased you were exonerated. Giving him the middle finger probably was not the wisest thing to do. So, do you have a case against the officer for racial profiling or race harassment? Possibly, but without substantial damages, you probably won't get... View More
I have my own insurance policy which states that my insurance will transfer to “non own auto” can I use this as proof of insurance. Also how can I fix the registration violation and the sticker violation?
answered on May 22, 2023
The court should allow your personal insurance as proof of insurance on the date you were driving. As for the registration, you should ask the court to dismiss since you are not the registered owner. Contact a traffic ticket attorney in CO for assistance.

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. The general rule in most places is that insurance follows the vehicle. It isn't fully clear what that provision that you cited means. The word "none" there doesn't seem to help. But it would... View More

Your first court date is typically just an arraignment date in which you enter a plea of not guilty, no contest or guilty. They will then give you a court date for your trial. If you would like to go forward with your trial, I would suggest you request that the court issue a subpoena for the... View More
