Navigating the California traffic law system can be a daunting task. Whether you're disputing a traffic ticket for speeding, running a stop sign, or using your cell phone while driving, the process can be complex. However, with a skilled traffic attorney by your side, you can efficiently and effectively challenge your ticket.
Understanding Different Types of Traffic Tickets
In CA, the types of traffic tickets you might encounter are numerous. Speeding is one of the most common violations, and the penalties can be severe, especially if you were driving significantly over the speed limit. Camera-enforced red-light tickets are another frequent offense, particularly in Bakersfield where there are eight intersections with cameras. While many assume these are indisputable, that's not the case. The system doesn’t always win; in fact, when you hire a traffic attorney to dispute your ticket your odds rise tremendously.
Running a stop sign or tailgating are also prevalent offenses that can result in significant fines and points on your license.
