I have a current valid Michigan license. They use my old Indiana license with an address that I’ve never stayed at before. I haven’t had a license in Indiana in 3-4 years now.
sight to notify of my intentions. The cop was parked down the road on a private lot in the dark. The stop led to more charges. Is his stop justified? I can't find anything about using turn signals being law in this situation. Could a good lawyer get this thrown out? And if so do all the other... Read more »

There are traffic ticket attorneys that practice in all states. You need to consult an attorney in your local area that practices this kind of law. Thank... Read more »

It may be possible depending on what the ticket is for and the rules in Indiana for drivers under 18. Be sure to attend any Court appearances because otherwise you could have an FTA, which can result in a license hold or suspension and an addition fine; and even an arrest warrant being issued for...

He told me he had to draw up the paperwork and that he would have it sent to my address and to be looking for it so I know when to go to court, but he never had me sign anything at all. I thought you had to sign a citation so they know that you will be there. Was he letting me go without telling me... Read more »

I can't answer for sure whether or not you'll get one but as a general rule I'd argue best practice here would be to go ahead and contact the police station or local court clerk to see if one was issued. It seems to me it'd be worse and probably more expensive on you missing... Read more »

First, SLOW DOWN. People will die in a collision while you are going 100 mph, and you could be charged with vehicular manslaughter and in some cases murder in the second degree. A 35mph speed limit is there because of pedestrians, bicycles, driveways, dogs and children in the area. It is a... Read more »

Driving offenses can stack up quickly if one is not careful. Generally speaking, the progression moves from multiple driving while suspended as an infraction, to multiple driving while suspended as a misdemeanor, then being declared a Habitual Traffic Violator as a felony offense. Do whatever you... Read more »

Just because the warrant expired does not mean that the case went away. The case is likely still pending and the prosecutor could ask for the warrant to be reissued at any time. You are well advised to take this opportunity to try to resolve your case. If you have not been fingerprinted and... Read more »

You can file a petition to waive reinstatement fees, but it would be wise to also discuss your record with a criminal defense attorney to see if anything can be cleaned up on your record.
The officer has put my first name in the last name box, my middle name in the first name, and my last name in the middle initial. All the other information is correct. I live in Illinois, and I have Illinois driver's license.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that your ticket will be dismissed if this is the only incorrect information. Transposing your name will likely be considered what is called a “scrivener’s error”. Prosecutors will probably be allowed to amend the ticket to reflect your correct name. If you have... Read more »
Occurred in Whitestown, Indiana. Will put 2 points on driving record. The deferral will cost $80.50 more than the ticket. If no citations in a year, then the case will be dismissed. I am assuming dismissal will mean no record of speeding or the ticket and no points on driving record.
answered on Nov 8, 2022
Your options are to pay the ticket and have a conviction and points on your record as well as the possibility of your insurance rates increasing. Take the deferral option, stay out of trouble and the case gets dismissed and the BMV will never know of the ticket. Though if you do get another... Read more »
I don't have insurance and I'm scared. The cops came here but I hadn't made it home yet. I don't know what to do

If your friend had insurance, the accident is covered.
If your friend didn't have insurance, you gave your friend permission to drive your car, knowing that it was uninsured so you are responsible for all property damage and/or personal injury that resulted. Whether you were driving... Read more »

Expired plates should not add any points to your record since it is not a moving violation. If you have already renewed your plates; I suggest contacting the prosecutor's office and provide them proof. The prosecutor may be willing to dismiss the case for you being in compliance.
I was pulled over and they gave me a possession charge. In the report the vehicle listed is incorrect

It can be used to attack credibility of the witness, however unless there is something more, as long as the witness is accurate with everything else, including identifying the defendant as the violator in Court, it most likely will not be enough to help the defendant.

If the suspension ended in 2014 then there should be no reason it would prevent you getting a license. However, there may be a reinstatement fee. Also, there could be other reasons preventing you from getting a valid license. If you do not have a myBMV account, set one up and look at your... Read more »
