Your current state is Virginia
My 20 year old son received a speeding ticket in August 2018 (paid the fine) and in March (2020) was in an accident and issued a ticket for following too closely. There was no court date and he kept calling to get a date but the clerk told him to call back because the ticket was not in the system.... Read more »
It is certainly possible to remedy this situation. A motion would need to be filed to re-open one (or both) cases in order to bring the ticket(s) in front of a Judge and request that the conviction be removed in place of court supervision. Once the motion is granted, certified paperwork from the... Read more »
The question is in the recent amendments to the law to renew the work permit for asylum. Does it include speed violations such as aggravated speed Is it prohibited to renew this work permit before the start of Resolution 25 August 2020?
This is something you need to discuss with an Immigration Attorney. The sooner you do this, the better.
Speeding 26-34 mph over the limit is a Class B misdemeanor. Technically, it is punishable by a maximum of 6 months in jail and a $1,500.00 fine. However, assuming that this is your first offense and you were polite and cooperative with the officer, it may be possible to keep this off of your public... Read more »
I'm 16 and It was 2am, and I was going 60 in a 30, there was no one else on the road. got a ticket for past curfew and paid it, my court date is tomorrow. What are my chances of getting my license suspended vs getting supervision?
If this is your only ticket in the last 12 months and you are over 21, your chances of getting suspended even if you are convicted are zero. However, it is a class B misdemeanor, which is a criminal offense.
I purchased a new car on a Sunday (when the DMV is not open). I drove it home and got pulled over for not having the car registered in my name. I showed the officers the title with my name and signature and they still ticketed me. I had called The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor... Read more »
I suspect that technically the officer who ticketed you was correct. But if you can prove what the department told you, it may be possible to get the ticket dismissed. Can you get something in writing from whoever you talked to?
I was starting to aspirate in my sleep which was extremely dangerous - it only happened sporadically and I sought out medical attention. The condition got worse and they found out that I had another condition that was causing this but they were against operating due to a diagnosis that had no cure.... Read more »
A: The plea of "No Lo Contrendre" is misunderstood. It means I do not contest the charge but I do not plead guilty. Its only value is if the ticket was issued to you as a part of a traffic accident because there is NO guilty plea or JUDGMENT to the charge which can be used against you in... Read more »
I am currently fighting a traffic ticket and the court arraigned me after a trial by written declaration on May eighth and the court has set my trial on August 23rd. I tried to look for important California Supreme Court Decisions but could not find any. Anything helps.
Thanks.
You should look to the Orange County Superior Court website for the COVID 19 orders that were issued suspending the California "speedy trial act", before you spend a lot of time on this. The presiding judge issued these orders on authority from Orders from the Cal. Supreme Court. They... Read more »

because his probable cause was speed he never gave me ticket for speeding?does that make his other tickets against me n case illegal in court?
Unfortunately, no. The officer may use your speed to provide a reason to stop you and ultimately decide not to cite you for it. His decision not to cite you for your speed does not invalidate the marijuana possession ticket.
You will want to have the assistance of an attorney in fighting... Read more »
Traffic laws regulate use of public roads.
I cosigned for my daughter's car, so both of our names are on the title and registration. She was stopped for speeding, got a ticket, didn't have her driver's license with her, tried to give the deputy her driver's license number, but he didn't take the info. He just wrote... Read more »
You and your daughter need to attend the hearing, you as the defendant and your daughter as your witness. In most places, the officer who issued the ticket will attend and a subpoena is not necessary. If the deputy fails to attend you or your attorney should ask that the case be dismissed. Be...

Then it means you must appear in court!
This is an excellent question.
Generally speaking, it is up to each specific Court as to whether the Court allows a traffic ticket to be payable without a court appearance.
For your specific ticket, I am often able to secure a Dismissal of your charge without you having to appear at... Read more »
And my vechile had no AC and I left from a different state from a Abusive spouse and dealing with a divorce and with me driving trying to figure out we’re to go I see a stop sign brake and my brakes squeak and I drift into the right of way car and he hits me totaled my vechile and I feel I was...

It sounds like you have at least three issues: (1) civil fault for the accident; and (2) the two simple misdemeanor traffic charges for disobeying the stop sign and for failing to yield; and (3) being a victim of domestic abuse.
While I can't provide legal advice based on such an... Read more »
Driver pulled out in front of me over 2 sets of double yellow lines without looking. He attempted to make a left turn resulting in me tboning him. The insurance company only accepted 50% liability.
As a general rule, it is not permissible under ordinary circumstances. An attorney might be able to assess liability more meaningfully after reviewing police report, any witness statements, insured's version of events told to the carrier, and carrier's basis in making their determination....

I got a citation for an out of date inspection on Friday July 3rd. I had to wait until the following Saturday (July 11th) to mail the payment because I didn’t get paid until then. The cop said “you have 10 days to respond”. I didn’t get the envelope in the mail until after the pickup time... Read more »
Just send back the not guilty plea asap or go to the courthouse and plead not guilty in person. Bring proof of inspection to court and show it to the officer who will hopefully drop the ticket
Case Description: So I had been driving home from getting my daughter and got lit up by a sheriff. I was about 100 yards from my driveway so I made the decision of not stopping right away and continuing to my driveway so my car wouldn’t possibly get towed and my daughter would have to be stuck in...

They don't have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you committed an infraction or something to pull you over. But there has to be a reason that they can explain and have some testimony towards the reason(s). For example, he could be saying I saw that this vehicle was traveling over the... Read more »
There is no walk or don’t walk signal just a traffic control signal lights
Good question. The answer is the pedestrian must obey all lawful traffic control devices, just like a vehicle. A related ? is when the red hand flashes, can you start across, and the answer to that is NO! Once the "don't walk" signal starts flashing the ped is required to wait until... Read more »
truck was passing my son at the same time the cop said he flagged him. Can I ask for dash cam footage of this. Can I use the app to prove he wasnt speeding
This is an excellent question.
Many more details would need to be known in order to give you a complete evaluation with respect to trying to get your App which provides speed into evidence at trial and if Dash Cam was available and would even help determine speed. The results from the App... Read more »
This fine is devastating and seems way out of line with the infraction. There was no one at the intersection (except the officer), he was driving under the speed limit, and he made a conscious decision when he saw the stop sign that it would be safer to drive through it than to slam on the breaks.... Read more »
That fine is the maximum fine for a class A misdemeanor.
Typically, that is not the fine that is imposed (at least I have never seen it/heard about it being imposed).
Your son would be wise to get an attorney, prior to his court date. In my opinion, it is usually best to find an... Read more »
