Does what violation? You did not specify the violation. If you can cite the specific code section listed on the ticket, that will be the best way to know.
answered on Feb 26, 2019
No. There has to be a broken line in your direction. The double yellow line is there because of the risk of encountering oncoming traffic.
Its for going 79 in a 55 zone in Pennsylvania. I live in Maryland however. I'm unclear on the difference between on pleading guilty or not guilty and whether it would be worth it to fight the ticket in court.
Also, do you know if any points are assessed for this violation?
answered on Feb 17, 2019
Points did not transfer from Pennsylvania to Maryland for a speeding violation, although a conviction in Pennsylvania can appear on your Maryland driving record. You'd be best to confer with a Pennsylvania attorney to determine whether the expense and effort are worth fighting a ticket,... View More

You can only obtain legal tags from the MVA. You cannot purchase tags from a private party. There’s really no excuse or explanation for not knowing this. Anything you say will be simply unbelievable. The only thing is to get your car legally registered, bring proof to court, and say you will... View More
My car has insurance. I am told to appear at court? plus is it illegal to drive a vehicle with Tennessee dealer temporary tag? the tag is for one month and doesn't expired during stop. the title is still with dealer and i am waiting to change ownership

A vehicle must be insured to be driven. If the vehicle was insured, you should have a policy listing the vehicle, its VIN number and the effective date of coverage. That evidence, if presented in court, should absolve you of the offense. Otherwise, you need to obtain and FR-19 Form from your... View More
I was driving in a 25mph zone and a cop was standing on the side of the road and waved me over because of speeding. I don't think I was going over 35 but he wrote on my ticket that I was going 40. The ticket said I have a $90 fee, but the cop also told me I have a point on my license, but no... View More

Yes, but you can challenge his ability to estimate speeds so specifically, and if he shows, and the judge believes your were exceeding 25, I would imagine the judge would at least cut the speed over to a one point 0-9 mph over rather than 10-29 over (which is a 2 point defense and is what you’re...

So I got a speeding ticket for driving 88 MPH on a 65 MPH zone, for a fine of $290. I don't mind paying the fine but I do not want to points and for my insurance to go up. If I want to somehow get that waived, would I be requesting for a waiver hearing or requesting for a trail? Would there... View More

Requesting a waiver hearing means that you're excusing the Officer from appearing in court and essentially pleading guilty with or without an explanation - but hoping your appearance (or that of an Attorney who can appear with or without you) will obtain a more favorable disposition than...

I received a citation for 21-707(a) "Failure to Stop at Stop Sign Line", but the "Location of Offense" lists an intersection near where the Officer pulled me over. He had said he pulled me over for not coming to a full stop at a stop sign in a nearby parking lot, and there is... View More

The citation should accurately list the location at which the violation occurred, and if evidence is presented that the location of the offense has no stop sign, it is conceivable, if you have a trial, that you could be acquitted due to a variance in the charging document and the evidence...

While your post is a bit vague, it is possible an Officer could cite you for failing to obey a lawful traffic control device (yes, posted signed are deemed devices) or a comparable violation if you had no legitimate basis for driving in a "work zone." However, a response to your post... View More

The lawyer will yell you, and yes, there is ordinarily a written retainer or flat fee agreement. If the lawyer does not give you one in writing, ask for one. Lawyers charge differently—each has his/her own rates. Fees depend on the complexity/seriousness of the charge, and on the experience of... View More

Following too closely behind another vehicle is a violation of the vehicle code and may be cited by an officer if it appears the conduct is unsafe under the traffic conditions and circumstances.
I'm on parole would like to know will this violate my parole
answered on Dec 23, 2018
Yes, up to 60 days. Hire a lawyer and get the charge dropped or amended down to a non-jailable offense, which will avoid the VOP. Be aware, failure to notify your PO of the new charge will be a VOP all by itself.
pulled over on the weekend and said i was not allow to drive the car with historic tags on the weekend when by law it state im allow to use the car for driving on the weekend coming back from advance auto parts
answered on Dec 11, 2018
If you received a citation then the code section alleged to be violated must be printed on it. I am not aware of any weekend prohibition. So long as your historic vehicle is not a truck over 10,000 lbs. or a camper over 25 years old, then A vehicle registered as historic cannot be used for general... View More
I was at a gas station, but the lights were all off due to a power outage. I turned left out of the gas station, and got pulled over for turning left over double yellow lines. It was just after midnight, so the road was not visible due to the power outages.
answered on Nov 26, 2018
The officer is required to list the specific Transportation Code provision by title , section and, if applicable, subparagraph, that you are accused of violating. It is on your citation. Look that provision up, and then you will know what the law is that the officer claims you violated. That’s... View More

Not sure what you are asking, but if you accumulate 8 points in any 2 year period, the MVA can suspend your MD license. 12 points will result in revocation of your license.
11/8/2017 I got a ticket in queen Anne’s county going 83 in a 55, I requested a waiver hearing and got pbj for a Ta - 21-801.1 but the fine of 160 did not go down. So I paid that.

Contact a skilled MD traffic attorney and hopefully they can guide you in the right direction.
Also, if you have to restart the 18 months do you have to restart the restriction of 151 days of no passengers under age 18 unless family?

You will want to contact a skilled MD traffic lawyer. Many of these lawyers will offer a consultation over the phone to explain what they may be able to do for you.
The bus does not run on the weekends and stops running after 7pm on the weekdays. I also want to know how much is the ticket for that?

I would suggest you contact the MVA, show them your paperwork, and follow their direction to get your license reinstated.

Yes, request a trial, not a waiver hearing. if the officer fails to show, you will be found not guilty. if the officer shows, then it depends on the facts. However, if you have no defense, you can at that time plead guilty with explanation, and request the judge either not impose points (grant a... View More
