An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Unfortunately, the scenario you describe places the primary blame on you. In virtually any jurisdiction, entering the main roadway from a driveway gives right of way to drivers already proceeding in the main... View More

An insurance company has a right to refuse payment on an accident claim if the driver did not have a valid license. You admit that your husband did not have a valid license at the time of the accident. Your insurance company may well be refusing to issue a certificate of coverage but that refusal... View More

Short answer is that you can try. The discretion whether or not to allow you to withdraw your guilty please (which is what happens when you pay your ticket before court) is within the province of the presiding Judge. If he say no, then it is over. If he says yes, then your guilty plea is... View More
15 years ago I received a driving while suspended citation. I recently received another. I received the ticket because someone ran a red light and Tboned me. How will that affect the verdict/punishment? My license has zero points on it. Was a dumb mistake. I have gotten my license reinstated... View More

Your question is a bit confusing. It looks like you are saying that you drove on a suspended license for 15 years. If you live in Detroit, Michigan, why are you asking about Indiana law? You really need to consult a local traffic attorney to assess your options. print out a copy of your driving... View More

The courts, clerks, and the BMV can be slow sometime. Consider speaking with an attorney to see if the suspension can be set aside or if you qualify for specialized driving privileges.
A $75 ticket now costing me $185? I don’t understand why.

Tickets, with the exception of a seatbelt ticket, have court cost. Court costs are currently $135.50 and are assessed even if you do not go to court but simply pay the ticket.
I called the clerk in Brown County and they could not find my UTT or my name in the system. I spelled my last time twice and she confirmed it with me, letter by letter. The court date is for 5/6/21 but she said she'd have to call around and call me back. If she can't find it initially,... View More

You will still have to appear in court on 5/6/21. The prosecutor has 2 years to file charges.
Its 2 tickets, one for going 60 miles on a county road and driving on a suspended license.

I was trying to enter the highway based on google maps. I saw two police cars parked in one lane of the lanes of the highway, so I slowed down completely to go around the car, like you normally would on the highway when a lane is blocked. There were no stop signs of traffic cones to block the... View More

You should consider speaking with a local criminal/traffic attorney who will be able to best argue your position. If you simply pay the ticket it will add a minimum of 4 points to your record and could raise your insurance rates.
Need help I don’t have all of witch there asking for
answered on Apr 9, 2021
Depending on where your tickets are filed it may be cheaper to have an attorney see about setting aside the judgments and working out agreements that will not impact your license and insurance as much if you just pay the tickets.

I am assuming you have tickets in Indiana and are trying to pay the tickets online. You should consider speaking with a traffic attorney to determine if paying the tickets in the long run will be more expensive than hiring an attorney who may be able to negotiate a better resolution to the case....

was suspended for an accident involving a dog I wasn't involved in or even knew of...i got 8 kids, i cant afford this , what do i do now pro se?
answered on Feb 7, 2021
In law, a dog is a chattel (an animal that constitutes property). If you leave the scene of an accident involving property damage and fail to contact either the owner of the property or law enforcement in Indiana, you commit Class B Misdemeanor which is punishable by a fine of $1,000 and/or...

I tried paying them today on public.courts.IN.gov today and all of them say they have been sent to collections, but they are not on my credit report for me to know what agency they are with. What is the best way for me to go about paying these/finding the information so I can get my license back?
answered on Feb 2, 2021
You should set up a MyBMV account if you have not already done so which should give specifics on each. Additionally, consider speaking with an attorney about the unpaid tickets, if you are suspended for an unpaid ticket, it may be possible to set the judgement aside and keep it off your record....

If you haven't paid the ticket it is possible the court ordered your license suspended. Also keep in mind, paying a speeding ticket will likely also increase your insurance rates. You may want to consider speaking to a local criminal defense attorney who can determine if there is a way to... View More
If two people are speeding (or racing in some cases that I’ve seen) and only one of them gets pulled over, did the other person just get lucky?
answered on Dec 10, 2020
If the officer can prove who was driving the other car then that driver could also be cited or speeding and possibly resisting law enforcement.
I gave consent to search my vehicle but they just took my purse from me as I was stepping outta my car & without asking or anything, proceeded to search it, which led to a drug charge. But I feel as if they violated my rights.
answered on Nov 30, 2020
If they did not have probable cause to search the vehicle or your purse, but you gave consent to search the car, there may be an issue with consent to search your purse. Contact a local defense attorney to discuss the case in more detail.
The vehicle I just purchased the week before I handed him my license and found out that they were suspended at that moment and he kept them.

Yes, the officer can write a citation after the fact. However, you should have been sent a notice of the violation. Consider speaking with a local criminal/traffic attorney.
