I was in a no injury , car accident yesterday. I was cited and considered at fault. They said I ran a red light. Which I did not I even said the light was yellow as I was moving through an intersection. A truck in the left turn lane hit me as I was going straight. My car is most likely a total loss... View More

I'm glad you were not injured. But from the standpoint of liability, the citation and your statement that the light was yellow place you in a difficult position. If it's possible to retrieve video imagery of the accident that might support your position, that's a possibility to... View More
I received citations for driving under suspension and driving with no insurance. Can the police cite me on private property even if that company has cameras?
answered on Jun 19, 2019
I'm not sure what private property has to do with cameras. You caused destruction of property. The police may investigate that. If they find you are driving under suspension with no insurance, likewise. You are looking at a looooooooooooooong suspension, as the Judge may figure the first one... View More
My truck was parked on side of the road helping with a broke down vehicle. I wasn't in it or seen driving it. Cop ran plates and saw suspended license. I was charged with driving under suspension. Will that stick in court? There was a licensed driver who could have been driving.
answered on Jun 11, 2019
That’s not a great case for the state especially if there was a second driver on scene who could have been driving you truck. I wouldn’t be surprised if the officer’s version of events is different from yours.
I got a reckless op ticket for going 63 in a 25, will I get my license suspended? I just turned 16 a month and a half ago

Depending on the County, most likely it will be mandatory for a suspension.

You have a right to an attorney if you face a possible jail sanction. If it’s just a minor misdemeanor traffic ticket (punishable only by a fine), there is no right to counsel at public expense though you can still hire an attorney. Also, you may want to ask for attorney. You have a right to one... View More
I blew .069 at the time of the stop. 45 min later at the station I blew two more times. The results then were .088 and then .09. Officer wrote .088 on ticket and my license was suspended under ALS

The test you take at the station is the admissible test. They typically write the lowest number from two or three tests at the station, which it appears the officer in this case did. You should hire an attorney.

Eventually, they’ll go to jail. The courts will work with people up to a point. Each judge’s breaking point is a bit different. But #4 without a license is over many of them.

License suspension and a fine, with the judge likely to be angered by him endangering others and acting totally irresponsibly. Parents also might get a lecture from the judge.

A standard ticket for speeding 23 m.p.h. over the limit typically carries two points on one's driving record and a fine. Fines typically range from $150-500, depending on the jurisdiction. If your son accumulates 12 or more points within 2 years his license will be suspended for 6 months.... View More
I believe I already have 2 moving violations from an accident I was involved in Pennsylvania last fall.
answered on Apr 19, 2019
It can be. Whether or not that will happen depends on discussion between you or your lawyer and the prosecutor. Your best chance is to hire a local attorney.

Forever. The points fall off after a couple years but the fact of the conviction is never erased.

That attorney could file a motion to lift the warrant. These are frequently granted when a court sees an effort to resolve the ticket. A court may then schedule a pretrial where that attorney can work to resolve the ticket too. If the court will not withdraw the warrant, an attorney could help... View More
I was pulled over I have court want to know would this bother my license before I get them?

It might! Some courts have programs allowing you to get your license valid. Then the repercussions are usually lighter.

License revoked by state over missed court date I was not notified of. Had received a warning, Not a citation and copy indicated no personal appearance required. Was notified a year later of revoked status.

Diversion is not common in traffic cases. You should ask for an attorney, if you can not afford to hire your own.

Unless you can prove someone else was driving your truck and parked it at the gas pump while you were getting gas, it appears obvious to me that you must have violated the law by driving on a suspended license to the gas station. So, rather than try to argue the fine points of Ohio traffic laws and... View More
No rules for a illegal window, when you can see clearly out of it. Plus seatbelt ticket is a secondary and I did not have any moving violations. Should I take it to court.
answered on Mar 26, 2019
Not sure how you know there are "no rules for a (sic) illegal window when you can see clearly out of it." But I will advise you not to raise that excuse as your only defense if you do go to court. Strong advise: Pay the fine and then get the cracked window fixed. In Florida it costs... View More
It’s his first offense the officer issued 2 tickets becuz he made an error and put 48 in 35 on when it was 48 in 25 he is 16
answered on Mar 26, 2019
If your son was caught speeding, it does not matter whether the officer had to write two tickets because he "made a mistake." However, if this traffic offense is your son's first, it is highly unlikely that his license will be suspended.
Can I fight it somebody called because they saw me watching a video on my phone but police said they have no evidence to ticket me for that just crossing line
answered on Mar 12, 2019
You can fight anything. The question is whether you will win or not. You’re probably better served by negotiating with the prosecutor to get it amended to a no point violation.
