In a small number of states such as California
Monday, January 31st, 2011You have the right to ask when the event ticketing used to establish the rate of event at which you are accused of traveling was last calibrated. You would ‘appeal’ your conviction through the court of appeals and the first impact of a event ticket is going to be felt in your wallet. The penalty for not paying a ticket can be quite severe and you could be hit with an extra fine or even lose your driver’s license for a set period of time. In some states you can choose to pay a lesser fine for your event ticket and take traffic school and traffic school is not free. Many times this involves paying a lawyer at least USD 100 to take the ticket to court and the lawyer usually tries to keep pushing back the court date until the officer is unable to make it to testify. Each driving infraction is assigned a certain point value and the more points you have the worse your driving record reads. Even worse they might decide to cancel your policy altogether and now you will have to find another insurance company before you can drive your vehicle and it can really affect your work and other aspects of your life if you are without an insurance policy. In a small number of states such as California, the courts have set up a traffic division to handle event tickets and you can contest the issuance of your event ticket directly to this division.
