Things To Know If You Get A Traffic Violation
Speeding Tickets are the most common traffic ticket given to drivers. In Florida, there are about 500,000 speeding tickets given out each year. In fact, speeding is one of the most common causes of accidents. Here are a few things to keep in mind when getting pulled over for a speeding ticket. First, do not argue with the Officer, he is just doing his job. Second, you do not want to do anything memorable. Don’t argue, don’t be rude, don’t ask to see the radar gun and don’t tell him he’s a jerk. Just be polite. Tell him or her that you are sorry and ask for a warning. If he says no, let it go and call us.
Stop signs are the second most serious cause of traffic fatalities. That is why the police officers enforce violations of stop sighs by giving out so many traffic tickets. To avoid a ticket for running a stop sign make sure you come to a complete stop. Don’t roll through the stop sign, even if you are making a right hand turn. If you have stopped all forward motion, you are good to go. If not and a cop sees you, call the traffic ticket team to fight the traffic ticket and we will make sure you have someone fighting for your rights.

Red Light tickets are being given out more and more each day. In fact there is a big movement to install thousands of red light cameras across the nation. Running a red light is one of the deadliest types of traffic infractions. However, as we all know, sometimes we just make a mistake and ran the light. But this does not mean you should have to get points on your license. Also, it’s unfair for a conviction for running a red light to make your insurance go up. So if you get a Traffic Ticket for running a red light, call the Traffic Ticket Team.
On January 26, 2007, Chief Judge Dale Ross signed a new administrative order that creates a new pretrial diversion program for DWLS offenders. Its effect will be to save many defendants from a five-year HTO revocation of their driver’s licenses. This was set up because if you get three DWLS convictions in five years, you will become a habitual traffic offender. This means you will lose your license and cannot get a new one for five years. However, if you fought those DWLS tickets and did not just pay them, you would not be in this jam. Thus, if you get a ticket for DWLS, call us before you do anything. It may just save your license, your job and your insurances increases.
U-Turn tickets are moving violations and they usually carry a 3 point penalty on your license. If you get a U-Turn ticket, you should not just pay it because your insurance will go up, you will on your license and you will pay a hefty fine. We all hate getting a ticket for illegal U-turn because we feel that it was the kind of ticket that hurt nobody. That is, we were careful, but we needed to make a turn. Like the other moving violations above, we fight illegal U-Turn tickets all the time and have a 99% success rate keeping points off our client’s licenses. A lot of people ask, “How do I know if I am making an illegal u-turn? Here are some general guidelines. Do not make a U-turn at an intersection with a traffic signal. Do not make a U-turn in the middle of the block in urban/residential areas. Do not make a U-turn where there is a sign prohibiting U-turns. Do not make a U-turn where visibility is limited by a curve or hill crest. Do not make a U-turn if there is a police officer anywhere in sight, is like waving a red cape at a wounded bull, regardless of legality. This leaves uncontrolled intersections, open rural roads with good visibility, divided roadways with dedicated breaks in the divider, and locations where U-turns are expressly permitted by official signs as your least risky U-Turn opportunities. If you need 100 percent assurance that you are legal, go around the block and re-enter the street that you want to reverse course on.
Florida’s new seat belt law will become effective June 30th, 2009. The law is intended to reduce the number of injuries and deaths due to motor vehicle accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, over half the people killed in automobile accidents each year failed to wear their seat belts. By providing police officers with the power to pull over drivers who are not wearing seat belts, the law is expected to help decrease this number and encourage safety for drivers and their passengers. Additionally, the new law makes Florida eligible for a government grant of $35.5 million, which was created to encourage states to enact a primary seat belt law and promote safety. So if you get pulled over for a seatbelt ticket, call the traffic ticket team and we will fight the ticket for you.
