Got An Unfair Traffic Ticket?

If you find yourself getting a traffic ticket you feel you didn’t deserve, here’s a little helpful advice.

Attorney Mel Leiding says some traffic tickets are unfair, undeserved, and easy to beat. He claims that about 60 percent of the tickets fought in the court are won by average citizens without any legal training.

In his book “How To Fight Your Traffic Ticket And Win!! 206 Tips, Tricks and Techniques,” Leiding advises everyone to plead “not guilty.” He says not guilty doesn’t mean you didn’t do it – it means that the officer must come to court and prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you’re guilty.

There’s a 30 to 50 percent chance the officer cannot show, resulting in a probable dismissal of your ticket and return of your money.

“A simple way to increase the odds of a ‘no show’ is to ask for continuances. This will set the hearing date at your convenience, not the officer’s convenience,” he says.

The recent trend is to contest unfair tickets because they’ve become so expensive. Tickets average $150 and go up to $1,350 after penalty assessments.

Leiding’s book also includes simple driving tips to avoid getting future tickets and some interesting ways to talk your way out of a ticket.

Other tips include how to handle the initial stop. He advises to roll your windows down, turn on the interior lights at night, put both hands on the wheel to show there’s no danger to the officer.

And above all…smile and present a good attitude.

Other popular books on the subject are:

An Educated Guide to Speeding Tickets by Richard Wallace; Beat Your Ticket: Go To Court & Win by David Brown; and Beat The Cops: The Guide to Fighting Your Traffic Ticket and Winning by Alex Carroll.
