The local road limit 45mph but ai drove 56mph that what cop said, but later on he wrote on ticket 66mph. What can I do now?
Ask for Traffic School; or, go to your trial and plead Not Guilty. However, your admitted speed makes you guilty, just not at the speed the officer wrote. That might make you eligible for a lesser fine, but you would have to consult with a Traffic Ticket attorney for specifics on that.
A later date because the prosecutors did not have my criminal file with them and could not find it in their office does my guilty plea still stay or does it mean I have a chance to plead not guilty at the next arraignment?
more info needed.
didn't you have a lawyer with you.
normally the court would appoint a public defender and that is the person who has all the info and can give you the most accurate info.
every court is different as is every DA.

He is working for a trucking company in the US with no work permit he currently has a tourist visa and recently got a ticket. His court is coming up and we are unsure of what to do. Or how to go about it.
Your spouse appears to be unlawfully employed in the U.S.and should seek to obtain lawful status.
In regards to the traffic ticket, he can engage the services of an attorney to assist him with the traffic violation.
Good luck to you.

I can miss booking and wait until the judge ordered it?
Yes! In most cases you would be required to book if you are convicted. Make sure to appear in court or have a private criminal defense attorney appear on your behalf. If you have or can get a valid license you may be able to gain a dismissal or reduction of the charge to an infraction.
A two lane road with very few passing lanes to pass slower traffic. The guy in front of me refused to pass the cars to the right while in the left lane. I flashed my brights at him and he reported me for wreckless driving. This was 30 miles from Lake Tahoe. I was pulled over upon entering Tahoe... Read more »
I'm confused by the citizens arrest mention in your title. From the body of your question, it sounds like you got a ticket and have a hearing date. Your options are to not contest the citation and pay the ticket, show up yourself and argue the merits of the infraction, or retain an attorney to do... Read more »
The answer depends on what the reason is for the suspension. If it’s for a DUI then you are looking at jail time otherwise, you could avoid jail. Is there some reason you can’t get a valid drivers license in California? Often times, it’s just because of some fines or fees that were not paid... Read more »
I would like to know if this would affect my job if i work in a car industry and the company insurance does not want to cover me.

I felt it was unsafe to be stopped in the middle of traffic. I could have made my turn and pulled over where it was safe. He unnecessarily impeded traffic and created a dangerous situation for all other motorists.
More info needed.
i would need to know the probable cause for his citing you and whether he pulled you over etc.
the officer probably just saw you impeding traffic.
if you explain what happened i think the judge would dismiss.
I got a red curb ticket but the issuing officer was a street sweeping officer. Is the ticket constituted? Or what does vehicle code mean by fire district jurisdiction?

After traffic school (if applicable) will anything show up on my record saying that I had received a ticket? Or will nothing appear? I live in California.
yes, if you qualify for traffic school it will be as if it never happened
You should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney to schedule a case review, most do not charge for the first meeting with you and then you can consider your options.
I live in San Diego and ticket was in Fremont and I don’t know they send it to the address that I had in 2010 not 2016. Now ticket is $800!! What should I do?
If the ticket is causing a hold for your drivers license, then you should take care of it. Find an attorney in the area of where the court is located and hire them to help you resolve it.
By the way, if you were handed a ticket in person, that would have been notice to appear. The court... Read more »
A friend is take over payments on a vehicle I no longer need and he was pulled over for speeding after making a turn from a stop light and I as the vehicle owner as well as the friend got a ticket for the same thing even though I was not present.
Generally, only the driver can be cited for speeding. If the owner is cited, it is probably for something else. To receive an owner responsibility ticket, the owner does not need to be present.
If at a traffic light there are two cars on opposite sides of the street both making left turns and a car from behind one of the turning cars decided to go around and then hits the turning car from the opposite side of the road who would be at fault for the accident.
The car from behind would have most, if not all of the fault, assuming everyone agreed on the facts as described. The car turning left from the opposite side may also have some fault as it could have had a clear view of the oncoming vehicle and might have been able to yield to avoid the collision.
I had a DUI reduced to Reckless Driving in Washington back in 2015. The court has released my license since then, but the state of WA demands that I get this class done if I want my license again in California.

however, you have to look to what Washington demands.
