Daily tip · A demo card, not a judgment

Read the ticket’s source before you contest it.

01Stop

Traffic penalties have a deadline. After it passes, arguing usually leaves only payment. Read the facts and the date on the ticket.

02Act
  1. Photograph the ticket, the scene, and the dashcam.
  2. File the statement before the date on the ticket. A phone call is not enough.
  3. Don’t argue under the signal because you’re angry.
03Find

File with the office named on the ticket, motor vehicles or police. If you still disagree, read the appeal notice or ask a lawyer.
