Traffic tickets are big business these days, so says the National Motorists Association. Many cities that have mismanaged their budgets and are using traffic laws and extreme fines to gouge their citizens. How sad the laws meant to keep us safe are now being used as a shakedown by City Hall. Case in point, a tiny town in Georgia that took in over half a million dollars in traffic tickets.
If you are ticketed and believe the violation to be unfair, how do you fight traffic ticket citations legally? Here is a great legal maneuver that was actually taught to me by a judge who I was sitting next to during an airplane flight.
He said to do what inmates on death row do… delay, delay, delay.
When you first get the ticket, see a judge and ask for a delay to pay your ticket (also known as bail). Then ask for another, then another. When you finally have to pay the bail, ask for a delay in the trial date. Then come back and ask for another and another delay. I have been able to delay my traffic trials for 9 to 10 months.
Why is that so important? Because in that long period of time, the police officer who pulled you over will probably not show up for the trial because he or she was transferred to another precinct, is on vacation, working new hours that do not allow an appearance in court or may have quit.
If the police officer doesn’t show up for your traffic court trial, then the case must be dismissed by the judge. Why? Because we all have the right to question our accuser in court, but if the accuser (the police officer) fails to show, the case is dismissed.
Please note that I am not a lawyer and suggest everyone seek help from a legal professional before going to court. I do not advocate getting out of tickets such as a DWI. Drunk drivers are dangerous.

There are two things I plan to do. First of all, I won’t just mail a check to pay for the ticket. Past experience has taught me that appearing for court is better choice. Some people like tofighttickets in court. But I will not fight it. I’ll concede to the judge that maybe I was going a little bit over the limit. And more then likely, the judge will reduce the ticket to a lesser violation. Then with all the remorse I can muster up, I
