Start fighting your traffic ticket in under a minute.
If you live in California, you might be pleased to know that you can fight a speeding ticket without appearing in court. You can do this by taking advantage of a trial by written declaration. Whether you exceeded the speed limit by a couple of minutes or accidentally missed a stop and ended up with a speeding ticket, you can protect yourself from the inconvenience of hefty fines or license revocation. But first, you need to know what a trial by written declaration is and how to fill out such a form to stand a better chance of getting the desired results.
What is a trial by written declaration?
In California, under the vehicle code section 40902, any person accused of traffic violations can fight their traffic tickets by taking advantage of a process called a Trial By Written Declaration. That is, as opposed to opting for a traffic court trial. This process can help with situations like running red lights, speeding, accidentally missing stop signs, using your cell phone while driving, and others. However, to successfully fight a traffic violation ticket using a trial by written declaration, you need to know how to fill out a trial by written declaration form correctly.
How do you fill out a trial by written declaration form?
The first step is to fill out a request for a written declaration and sign it (typed or printed clearly) in your designated area. Here, you can include various forms of evidence, such as diagrams, photographs, and witness statements. Be sure that the evidence presented is straightforward and can be easily explained and understood. You should also provide a written statement explaining why you think the court should dismiss the traffic ticket you received.
Therefore, it is essential to know that you can fill out the forms independently, but composing your words can make all the difference. For example, if you fail to use the right words while defending your case, the risk of failing to defend your case goes up, as your case may not be dismissed. Even worse, you may end up convicted for your lack of knowledge of vehicle laws or even poor choice of words.
Why do you need expert assistance?
As mentioned earlier, you can fill out the forms on your own. However, because of the risks already mentioned, it is best to get help from a professional with extensive experience in fighting tickets and comprehensive knowledge of the California driving laws.
