CHP traffic enforcement may be increased and drivers may be more susceptible to getting ticketed during the month of May. May is “Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month”.

CHP press release “State Safety Agencies Stress ‘Sharing The Road’ During Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month” cautions drivers to:

• Perform a regular visual check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or exiting a lane of traffic, at intersections, and pulling out of driveways and parking lots. Always look twice before pulling out.

• Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic.

• Allow more following distance -three or four seconds – when behind a motorcycle to give

the motorcyclist time to maneuver around obstacles in the roadway or stop in an emergency. -  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:

1. Initial Review (heard by the issuing agency)
2. Administrative Hearing (heard by a qualified examiner contracted or appointed by the issuing agency)
3. 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.

Easy Tips to Dismiss That Ticket

Easy Tips to Dismiss That Ticket – 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.

2.       Get your witnesses

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

3.       Check Your Ticket

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.

4.       Ask for a Dismissal

Now that you have done your research, gathered any witnesses, and checked your ticket, you are ready to contest your ticket and request the judge to dismiss it.  -  blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Drivers May See Longer Yellow Lights at Camera Enforced Intersections

Drivers May See Longer Yellow Lights at Camera Enforced Intersections –  blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets. 

There is a new California Assembly bill in the works that could benefit motorists and reduce red light camera violations. This bill seeks to amend the Vehicle Code to require all yellow lights at camera enforced intersections be lengthened by one second. The bill would also require a ticket be dismissed if the local governmental agency or local authority does not comply with the longer yellow light change intervals.   -  blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Some Drivers Get to Clear Traffic Tickets at Video Kiosks

Some Drivers Get to Clear Traffic Tickets at Video Kiosks -  blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets. 

Drivers can now clear traffic tickets and in certain cases see a judge face to face using video kiosks located in a few San Antonio grocery stores.

As reported by WOAI.com News, video kiosks connected to the municipal court put people face-to-face with a judge, allowing everyone to skip the hassle of driving down to the courthouse.  The video kiosk allows you to talk to someone immediately at the court and a clerk will first screen a case then bring in a judge to take a plea. Those who use the kiosk will be able to request probation or a driver’s safety course and pay for the ticket at the kiosk.

In light of budget cuts and courtroom closures, many California drivers who are ticketed face considerable wait times to get through to a court clerk whether it is over the phone or in person, and could definitely benefit from traffic ticket video kiosks.-  blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Red Light Camera Bill May Eliminate Certain Rights

Red Light Camera Bill May Eliminate Certain Rights- blog submitted by ticketbust.com, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets. 

Many cities all across California are no longer using red light camera enforcement. Many believe this is due to the fact cities are losing money since so many red light camera tickets are being thrown out by judges.

A new California Assembly Bill (666) introduced by Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski, seeks to make red light camera tickets administrative tickets. As reported by OC Weekly those who are not in favor of the bill believe it:

•     Eliminates Your Right to a Trial if You Get a Red Light Camera Ticket
•     Makes You Responsible for the Ticket Even When Someone Else Is Driving
•     Sets up “Administrative Hearing” Courts Run By Those Who Gave You the Ticket
•     Makes it so no Evidence Other than the Ticket Itself is Needed to Convict You
•     Leaves no Right to Face Your Accuser
•     Makes it so you Are Assumed Guilty and Have to Prove Your Innocence
•     Makes it so You Will Have to Pay a Fee If You Want Your Case Heard in Court
•     Expands the Use of Photo Enforcement to Other Traffic Violations
