If You Set Off A Red Light Camera, It Doesn’t Necessarily Mean You Will Get A Ticket
If You Set Off A Red Light Camera, It Doesn’t Necessarily Mean You Will Get A Ticket – blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
Red Light traffic enforcement cameras are set up at intersections to get a clear shot of you running a red light. If the photo isn’t clear enough then the employees viewing the photos may disregard the ticket since they don’t have clear evidence.
The next step if the police feel they have enough evidence is usually to send you a notice asking you to sign a form and mail back to them. At this point if you don’t fill out the form and mail it back then there is no real ticket in the mix. A real ticket isn’t filed with the court till you send back that form identifying yourself as the driver or someone else.
If you are concerned about getting a red light ticket in the mail, you won’t have to worry for too long. If it’s been more than 2 weeks since the time you think you set off the red light camera then chances are you won’t be getting a ticket. Police have slightly more than 2 weeks (15 – days) to issue the ticket otherwise you may be able to get it invalidated. - blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Registration Tickets Cost You Extra Money How To Avoid Them
Registration Tickets Cost You Extra Money How To Avoid Them -blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
Tickets relating to vehicle registration (such as expired registration) are not considered moving violations. This means the DMV will not add a point to your driving record just for a registration ticket. Generally points are only given for tickets relating to the “safe operation of your vehicles” but you will have to deal with the court and pay a fine even if you get proof of valid registration.
These are the most common reasons people receive these tickets:
- People are unaware of California registration laws! Did you know that…
- immediately upon accepting employment in the State of California you must register your vehicle
- immediately upon establishing residency in the State of California you must register your vehicle
- People have expired registration tabs! Did you know that…
- an officer cannot pull over a minor just on suspicion of cell phone violation but if you give the officer another reason, such as having expired tabs, you can get ticketed for the cell phone too, and this is a non-correctable moving violation
Registration tickets just cost you extra money remember these simple facts to help avoid them - blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Can You Really Get a Ticket for Driving With Your Dog on Your Lap
Can You Really Get a Ticket for Driving With Your Dog on Your Lap -blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
Last Month was “Distracted Driver Awareness Month” and we saw many, many tickets that were issued to people for anything from talking on a phone, to texting, to driving with a dog on the lap!
Can you really be cited for driving with a dog on your lap? Well, according to one ticket we saw, an officer from the Irvine Police Department thought so. The driver was cited under “interference with driver’s control” (section 21701) and the officer wrote on the ticket “dog on lap”.
California Vehicle Code Section 21701 states: “No person shall willfully interfere with the driver of a vehicle or with the mechanism thereof in such manner as to affect the driver’s control of the vehicle. The provisions of this section shall not apply to a drivers’ license examiner or other employee of the Department of Motor Vehicles when conducting the road or driving test of an applicant for a driver’s license nor to a person giving instruction as a part of a course in driver training conducted by a public school, educational institution or a driver training school licensed by the Department of Motor Vehicles.”
Do you think it was proper for the officer to cite the driver under this statute for driving with a dog on his lap? We disagree. While driving with a safely tethered dog rather than a loose dog on the lap is certainly safer, we find the language of the statute really only applies to “a person” like a passenger that interferes with the driver. Not an animal. - blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Are Police Officers Obligated to Show You the Radar Gun
Are Police Officers Obligated to Show You the Radar Gun -blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
When you’re caught for speeding the first thing that comes to your mind is where is the officer’s proof? I want to see the proof. This may prompt you to demand to see the officer’s radar gun.
In California (or any other state that we aware of) however, an officer does not have any duty to show you the radar gun. What’s more, he may have a valid reason for choosing to refuse to show you the radar, like a safety concern. He may feel his safety would be compromised by taking you back to the patrol car in the middle of the night, or he may feel your safety would be compromised by walking you back the patrol car where there is high speed traffic on a busy highway.
So if you want to see it, make a polite request, not a demand. If the officer refuses, there is not much you can do, it is not worth getting into an argument and the officer will think you are questioning his authority. Moreover, any chance you had at getting a reduced penalty or a warning is pretty much out the window. - blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Are Drivers of Commercial Vehicles Prohibited from Using CB Radios Under California Traffic Law
Are Drivers of Commercial Vehicles Prohibited from Using CB Radios Under California Traffic Law -blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
When California’s cell phone law took effect several years ago on July 1, 2008, while it required drivers to use a hands-free device while talking on the phone and driving, it did provide exemptions for drivers of Commercial Trucks.
When the law first took effect, drivers of commercial trucks (i.e. Big Rigs and not pick-up trucks) were exempt, along with emergency workers and people driving on private property.
The law once allowed commercial drivers to use a two-way radio operated by a “push-to-talk” feature that did not require immediate proximity to the ear. However… in 2011 everything changed for commercial drivers.
The part of the law allowing them to use a two-way radio with a push-to-talk feature was removed. CB radios are no longer exempt under California’s hands free laws and commercial drivers must use a hands-free device while driving, like any other motorist. - blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Disabled Parking Violations Heavily Fined – How to Fight Unfair Ticket
Disabled Parking Violations Heavily Fined – How to Fight Unfair Ticket-blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
When it comes to tickets related to improperly parking in or near to an area designated for Disabled Persons, what many do not know is that the type of ticket you can receive may vary.
You may receive a parking ticket from a meter maid stuck on your window. These are generally handled by a separate parking agency not the court. Or you may receive an actual ticket from an officer which he makes you sign agreeing to take care of by a certain date through the court.
If you receive an actual ticket stating you must respond to the court for it, then keep in mind you have certain rights for fighting this ticket which will yield a $1,000 + fine! Understandably so, California comes down hard on those who violate or take advantage of Disabled Parking privileges, however there are unfortunately times when a person receives a ticket unjustly. Signs or areas designating a Disabled Parking zone are sometimes faded, damaged, or blocked to the point where a driver cannot reasonably see it.
You can request a court trial and have a trial with the officer present or you can request a trial in writing. A written trial is preferable for this type of ticket because you have two shots at getting it dismissed. If you are unsuccessful with the written trial, you can always request a new trial and try again. - blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
