a Moped is a motor vehicle in Maryland and the operator must be licensed. A motor vehicle violation, if one is convicted, may trigger a violation of probation, but that depends on the terms of the probation order. You would be best to consult with a qualified traffic attorney who can evaluate the... View More

If the apartment management had your car towed, you should ask the individual who gave you permission to park in the handicap space to pay any expenses you incurred in reliance upon what he/she told you.
If the towing company towed your car without authorization, you could probably sue the... View More
The only information I found was that you can not have red or green lights visible directly in front, and you can not have flashing or amber lights. Does this mean I can have red mounted on the sides with blue as long as they are constantly on and not flashing or rotating?
answered on Nov 18, 2024
Below is a statute that addresses some of the restrictions on the lights. Depending on where you drive, there are also other ordinances and laws that apply.

It could depend on how aggressively the other side's attorney and authorities want to press those issues. If the other side chooses to bring a case, it could depend on how it would be handled.

I’m 17, live in Illinois, and some months ago received a ticket and court date for driving with no insurance but the charge was dropped. I today received a speeding ticket for going 20 over and will be appearing in court for this as well in about a month. Will my license get revoked?

Neither suspended nor revoked if you properly described your driving record and the disposition of the first ticket. What you should do is request court to provision, so it does not get written up as a conviction. The reason this is important is if you have a conviction on this one, you have to... View More

This sounds like a speeding camera ticket. For these, no points are assessed against your driver's license and no report is made to the DMV or your insurance provider; however, they are still allowed to demand that you pay a civil penalty. To be sure, you could consult with a lawyer in your... View More
My friend was driving without a license and given a ticket. I’m assuming she also got a court date but she missed it and never received anything in the mail because she moved to a new address.

A good lawyer can help your friend by turning her into the court and thus keeping here most likely out of jail on the warrant, then a new court date will be set. That being said, based on what she is charged with again a good lawyer may be able to help keep her out of jail on the original charges.... View More
The first ticket was about 4 months after I got my license and it was 22 over. The judge reduced it to a loud exhaust. 6 months later I got a ticket for 15 over. Should I be worried about my license being taken away and would taking a driving course before my court date be beneficial?

Yes. Assuming you were convicted of the first ticket and if you are convicted of this one, your license will be suspended. To avoid that you should request court supervision on the new ticket. You’ll have to bring a parent or guardian with you to court and get the permission of the judge to... View More

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for over two weeks. This may be more of a "Car Accident" question than a traffic ticket question. At any rate, she is not liable if she had no reason to anticipate the truck's maneuver. She also has the strong... View More

Signing a ticket is not an admission of guilt, but rather, acknowledgement of the court date on it. It is important to note that most moving violations in Georgia are considered criminal misdemeanors, meaning that they are punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Additionally,...

In 2014, yes. As of 2021, the Virginia Code was amended to label a number of traffic infractions "secondary violations" which, standing alone, do not justify a traffic stop. But this new rule is not retroactive to traffic stops from 2014.
I passed a school bus that was pulled to the side of the road at an entrance road. It had hazards and the yellow warning lights but no red lights and no arm deployed.

Yellow warning lights begin to deviate from their intended purpose if they're left on indefinitely. I have seen this behavior before from some school bus drivers and it is a problem for other motorists who have to decide how to proceed. It sounds like you took reasonable precautions before...

If you filed the demand for jury trial in a city, recorders or magistrate court, your case may have already been transferred to a state or superior court for the trial. Regardless, you can switch to a bench trial merely by filing a document known as a "Waiver of Jury Trial" with the clerk... View More

Absolutely. It won't prevent you from receiving a citation or from being arrested for a serious violation like DWI. But you can certainly say it if you like.

It is possible to get some types of tickets removed from your record. The legal process in New Mexico is called a petition for expungement. The statute is Section 29-3A-4 and 29-3A-5. Check out NMOneSource (nmonesource.com). It's a really great free resource with all of New Mexico's laws... View More

If you actually had insurance but could not provide proof at the time it is an easy dismissal. As to the speeding ticket, it will depend on what court your hearing will be in. Judges do not all rule the same. Officer do not all write their reports the same: some make mistakes that we can take... View More

Generally what the courts do depends on your speed and driving history. Most judges look at the last 5 years. Many judges will offer driving school to reduce or dismiss if you were polite and have a very good driving record and haven't done driving school in the last 5 years.
