Granite Bay

Many drivers who get a Granite Bay traffic ticket accept it and pay it. The thought of challenging the ticket may briefly cross their mind but goes no further. That could be a mistake. For one thing, tickets usually mean more points on driving records. One ticket can mean the difference between you being able to drive legally and having to deal with a suspended license. For another thing, your car insurance rates could go up significantly. That does not have to happen. The Ticket Clinic lawyers are here to help drivers going to traffic ticket court in Granite Bay.

Going to Court Is Worth the Effort

Whether you have a red light ticket in Granite Bay or have been ticketed for alleged offenses such as speeding, reckless driving, DUI or texting and driving, contesting the ticket is often worthwhile. A couple of the reasons are listed above—the potential for insurance rate hikes and the fact that tickets could eventually lead to license suspension. Here are some more reasons:

• You may be ordered to take a driving class. Going to court takes time, but a driving class is a steep time investment.
• Tickets have indirect costs, and they are not always financial. For example, if you lose your license, you may have to take the bus to work. That could mean hours added to your commute.
• You might believe you are guilty and deserve to pay the fine. You still have the right to fight your ticket and to mount a defense. Equipment goes wrong all the time, and police officers get careless. Sometimes, they even write down information that does not stand up to scrutiny.
• If you have a CDL, you could lose it and your job.

Of the drivers who fight their tickets, many see outright dismissals. If that does not happen, a frequent outcome is a lesser fine or charge. Police officers do not always appear to testify about the tickets they issued. Nor do manufacturers, service technicians and police officers always appear to discuss the maintenance of a certain piece of equipment. Witnesses may give conflicting accounts about what happened before the ticket was issued.
