Is defending tickets just based on technicalities?

Name Sue
Inquiry My son got a ticket for unsafe lane change, and the wrong address of the
incident was put on ticket. We are disputing the ticket, what are our
chances??

Hello Sue,

It is common for people to think that defending charges is based on finding some minor technicality which will automatically win the day – this is unfortunately not true. The address error goes only to the quality of the Officer’s note taking, unless he put the wrong jurisdiction entirely, which could provide a defense.

Unsafe Lane change charges are often defendable on the facts, but we would need to know your son’s version of events. Please contact the office at 1-866-801-8299 and we would be pleased to provide him with a free consultation.

Best Regards,

Kevin
