Florida Bill May Increase Red Light Camera Fines But Still Less Than California – blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
Florida Bill if passed could push the cost of a red light camera ticket to over four hundred dollars (reported by wftv.com). Four Hundred dollars may seem steep for a red light camera violation however the fine for a California Red Light Camera Ticket is almost Five Hundred Dollars, and in some case exceeds Five Hundred Dollars. In addition to the fine, a California Red Light Camera Ticket will also add at least one point to a driver’s motor vehicle record. Controversy over Red Light Camera Tickets has many California cities turning off their red light camera systems and many California drivers contesting their tickets. - blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Traffic School a Right or a Privilege
Traffic School a Right or a Privilege- blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
Just like your driver’s license is a privilege, so is traffic school. Traffic school has to be ok’d by the court. You cannot automatically take traffic school for any ticket you receive. There may be a reason the court would exercise its discretion to deny you traffic school, for example if you were speeding over 100 mph or have already taken traffic school once in the past 18 months.
You will also be charged a court fee for opting to take the traffic school route – a fee separate from the cost of actually taking a traffic violator education course.
For those of you who do not wish to contest your ticket, traffic school may be the only way to keep your license. The CA DMV assigns 1 point for most traffic moving violations (1 ½ points for commercial drivers) and you will be considered a “negligent operator” with 4 points in 12 months. - blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Contest Parking Tickets in Three Steps
Contest Parking Tickets in Three Steps - blog submitted by TicketBust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
Most parking violations are not filed with the courts. They are not considered moving violations and once paid would not have any effect on your driving record or cause your auto insurance to increase.
Parking tickets that go unpaid however can result in additional penalties and late fines, loss of your right to contest the ticket, notification to the DMV to withhold your vehicle registration renewal until all penalties and late fines are paid, or notification to the California Franchise Tax Board to withhold all penalties and late fines from your state income tax refund or lottery winnings.
California law provides a parking ticket can be fought in this order:
- Initial Review (heard by the issuing agency)
- Administrative Hearing (heard by a qualified examiner contracted or appointed by the issuing agency)
- Trial De Novo (heard in Superior Court by a judicial officer).
Parking ticket fines can potentially be waived during the time you are contesting it with proof of inability to pay. - blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Trying to get your ticket dismissed on your own can be tough so many turn to experts in the field. Here at Ticketbust.com we have been helping drivers contest their traffic tickets for many years, and there are some basic tips to keep in mind when trying to dismiss a ticket on your own:
1. Do your research
Return to the location you were ticketed as soon as possible and take notes and pictures. If possible position yourself exactly where the officer was and take pictures from that angle of where your car was.

Statements given under penalty of perjury from at least two unrelated witnesses can help to bolster your testimony of what happened.

Check your ticket and look up the exact wording for the law you were cited for violating. You can look up traffic laws on various websites including the California Department of Motor Vehicles official website. You must break down the traffic law and decide which points can be disputed. You should also check for any fatal flaws on your ticket.
