Understanding the Basics of Traffic Tickets


Before diving into strategies, it’s essential to understand the nature of traffic tickets. A traffic ticket is a legal notice issued by law enforcement to a driver who has violated traffic laws. These tickets can vary in severity, from minor infractions to serious offenses. Understanding the type of ticket you received is the first step in determining how to approach your case.


Types of Traffic Tickets


  1. Moving Violations: These include offenses like speeding, running a red light, or failing to yield. Moving violations often carry points on your driving record.


  2. Non-Moving Violations: These are typically less severe and include parking tickets or equipment violations. They usually do not affect your driving record.


  3. Criminal Traffic Violations: These are serious offenses, such as DUI or reckless driving, which can lead to severe penalties, including jail time.
