Clearing the Air Tickets Received on a Bike Don’t Put a Point on MVR –blog submitted by staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets. 

There is a common misconception that a ticket received on a bicycle could result in a point on your driving record. While true that you could be cited for things such as a red light or a stop sign because many of the vehicle code violations are applicable to bike riders as well, the California DMV makes clear that “Violation points are assigned to Vehicle Code sections….involving safe operation of a motor vehicle.” and “Any violation occurring as a …bicyclist has no point assigned.”

So if you get a ticket on a bike although you may get slapped with an exorbitant fine, you should not be looking at having to worry about any points being added to your driving record and there is no reason to attend traffic school. As a caveat, many police officers aren’t all that savvy on the vehicle code as it relates to bikes.

Before you sign the ticket make sure the officer made some indication on the ticket that you were on a bike. If not then if/when the DMV were to receive notice of the ticket they may assign points to your driving record not knowing you actually got the ticket on a bike. –  blog submitted by staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

The Mere Appearance of Cell Phone Use Can Get You Pulled Over

The Mere Appearance of Cell Phone Use Can Get You Pulled Over  –blog submitted by https://staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud/, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.  

Did you know that a cell phone violation is a primary offense in California? This means that you could be driving the speed limit, wearing your seatbelt, doing nothing wrong and if a passing officer suspects you are using your cell phone illegally just because you picked up your phone to check the time while stopped at a red light, she can stop you just for that!

Say your phone is turned off but you’ve got it in your hand, the officer doesn’t know it is turned off and you can get pulled over just because it “looks” like you are on your phone. Avoid this! Even if you are not texting another person and are just using your phone as a GPS, you can get pulled over just because it “appears” to the officer you are texting.

Don’t give the officer an excuse to pull you over in the first place! The officer might not believe your story and you might have to waste time and money defending yourself later to the court. Avoid the headache, keep unwanted attention from a passing officer at bay, and keep hand to phone contact at an absolute minimum while driving.  –  blog submitted by www.staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Commercial Drivers Who Drive Too Fast Face Serious Consequences –blog submitted by www.staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.  

Did you know that if you hold a commercial driver’s license and drive a commercial vehicle at a speed of 15 miles per hour or more above the posted speed limit for trucks with trailers that you can be cited for a misdemeanor? It’s true!

The officer can choose to cite you for the usual violation for speeding in a commercial truck, California Vehicle Code section 22406 (which is an infraction) or he can choose to instead cite you under section 22406.1 (a) of the California Vehicle Code which is a much more serious offense!

Don’t risk it! If cited for the latter you could be facing serious consequences such as a suspended driving privilege, jail time, or outrageous fine.  –  blog submitted by www.staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Avoid High Fine Carpool Tickets

Avoid High Fine Carpool Tickets –blog submitted by www.staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.  

Driving in heavy Los Angeles traffic can be a real nightmare but worse than that is getting a carpool lane ticket. Hybrid drivers could once enjoy riding in the carpool lane even if they didn’t have a passenger so long as they had a yellow carpool lane sticker however that luxury expired earlier this year in July. Currently Natural Gas Vehicle drivers, Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle drivers, and Pure Electric Vehicle drivers can drive solo in the carpool lane until 2015 (with a white carpool sticker). As for the rest of us driving without a passenger in the carpool lane can result in an exorbitant fine.

If you do get a carpool ticket there are ways to fight it, and although driving by yourself in the carpool lane will generally not result in a point going on your driving record (it is a zero point violation versus driving across double yellows into or out of the carpool lane will result in a point) the fines for a ticket like this can range from $400 on up. Keep your hard earned dollars in your own pocket by staying out of the carpool lane if you don’t have a passenger or white carpool sticker, don’t risk having to fork it over to the state. –  blog submitted by www.staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Don’t Wind Up Paying for A Ticket You Didn’t have to in the First Place

Don’t Wind Up Paying for A Ticket You Didn’t have to in the First Place -blog submitted by www.staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.  

You don’t want to wind up paying for a ticket when you didn’t have to in the first place do you? This is a topic we have blogged about in the past but it’s important enough to revisit, because too many people receive notices from police departments or out of state camera company that are meant to fish for information, like your driver’s license number, and to get you to tell on yourself (or someone else) for a red light violation.

Either on the notice itself or an attach page, will be blank lines with fields for you to fill in. If you don’t fill out the back of this notice and send it back to the agency requesting the information from you then they won’t have enough to pin the violation on you and a get a real ticket issued to you through the court. Once you give up this information, the information can be used to get a real ticket filed with the courthouse.

Be very suspicious if you don’t the court house listed on the notice. Be wary if you don’t see a due date.  Be careful if you don’t see a fine amount listed.  You could even go so far as to go on the website for the court in the county the violation supposedly occurred in and do a search for the ticket. You could also try calling the court you think the ticket would have been issued in and inquire if there is any record of a ticket being issued to you, most likely there will not be!

Red light camera tickets can be tricky so it doesn’t hurt to get professional help. –  blog submitted by staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Speed cameras on Ramona Expressway?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

While driving on the Ramon Expressway, Highway 371 in Anza, or Highway 60 (between Moreno Valley and Beaumont) you may have seen what looked to be photo radar enforcement and had that sinking feeling that you would be receiving a ticket in the mail.

In reality, a motorist driving a bit too quickly through those areas will see a “slow down” message flash and a white light pulse, which is what, may be confused by some as a camera taking a picture. In reality these are just radar speed feedback signs and no ticket will result.

In fact, the speed cameras (which would allow speeding tickets to be issued by mail much like red light cameras) have not yet been legalized in California and even the recent AB 1311 Bill which sought to legalize speed cameras in California did not make it out of the Assembly by the deadline.

Lower Speed Limits?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Lower Speed Limits? -blog submitted by staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.  

In California we have a basic speed law, that no one can driver at a speed which is unsafe for the surrounding conditions. We also have default speed limits. 25 on residential streets.  Can’t go more than 55 mph on other roads even if no speed limit is posted. And no more than 65 mph on the freeways, unless there’s a posted 70 mph sign.

What if a local government wants to set a speed limit lower than the default 55 mph?  There has to be a survey done in which several factors are looked at to determine the correct speed for that road. Every several years, a city traffic engineer goes out to the street and uses a radar gun to measure the speed of say 100 cars.  The speed of the 15 fastest cars is discarded and the speed of the fastest car remaining is the “85th percentile speed.”  

As the law is currently, if the 85th percentile speed of free flowing traffic on the road is 38 mph, the engineer must round up to 40 mph. A new Assembly Bill (AB 529) if passed would allow the city engineer to, instead of rounding up, to round down. Instead of having to round up to 40 mph from 38 mph the speed limit could be posted at 35 instead. –  blog submitted by staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

Knowing What Not to Include In A Trial By Declaration Statement Is Just as Important For Successfully Fighting Your Traffic Ticket In The Written Form

Knowing What Not to Include In A Trial By Declaration Statement Is Just as Important For Successfully Fighting Your Traffic Ticket In The Written Form -blog submitted by staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.  

 

A Trial by Written Declaration is one of the best ways to get your ticket dismissed and since the average time a judge spends reviewing a Trial by Declaration is only about 5 – 10 minutes, knowing what to include in a Trial by Declaration statement is crucial for successfully fighting your traffic ticket in the written form. It is however just as important to know what not to include. 

 

A Trial by Declaration statement:

 

  • ·         Should not contain lengthy discussion of irrelevant facts
  • ·         Should not bad mouth the officer
  • ·         Should not contain un-professional language
  • ·         Should not contain information about past violations or violations unrelated to the ticket you are currently fighting
  • ·         Should not be handwritten because you want it to be easily read
  • ·         Should avoid admitting guilt

Bicyclists Can be Cited For Red Light, Stop Signs Tickets and More

Bicyclists Can be Cited For Red Light, Stop Signs Tickets and More-blog submitted by staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

 

By law ( California Vehicle Code section  21200) , “Every person riding a bicycle upon a highway has all the rights and is subject to all the provisions applicable to the driver of a vehicle by this division, except those provisions which by their very nature can have no application.” Essentially this means that cyclists are to act and be treated as drivers of cars. However many inexperienced or non professional bicyclists are not aware that the vehicle code applies to them while they are on a non-motor driven device, moved exclusively by human power. Unfortunately, this is no excuse, and while it may seem unfair, bicyclists (of any level of experience) are expected to know the rules of the road and abide by them.

It is true a driver of a bicyclist can be cited for a red light, a stop sign violation, for wearing ear plugs in both ears while riding, etc. What more, is that many of the  violations committed while on a bicycle will carry a point (or more) and can affect your driver’ s license and insurance rates. Luckily a ticket issued to a bicyclist can be fought or contested in the same way as a ticket received while driving a car.

Why Parking Tickets Cannot be Contested Using Trial by Written Declaration -blog submitted by staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.

 

A Trial by Written Declaration is one of the best ways to get your ticket dismissed however not all tickets can be contested using a Trial by Written Declaration.

 

To name a few, red light, speeding, cell phone tickets are all types of tickets you can contest using a Trial by Written Declaration. Only traffic infractions can be contested using a Trial by Written Declaration, and parking tickets generally cannot be due to the following:

 

Years ago, Assembly Bill 408 revised and recast procedures for processing and adjudicating parking law violations. The bill required courts to transfer the processing of parking ticket to the issuing agencies and consequently parking violations were no longer cited as a traffic infraction.

 

There are a very small number of parking violations that by law are still allowed to be cited as an infraction. A violation of disabled parking, parking in a bus loading zone, parking at a wheel chair access curb, parking near sidewalk access ramp for disabled are those parking violations that an officer can exercise his discretion and choose to cite as an infraction. If the officer did cite you for one of those parking violations and indicated he was citing it as an infraction then you would be able to contest it using a Trial by Written Declaration. –  blog submitted by staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, helping drivers contest and dismiss their traffic tickets.
