Fight a Traffic Ticket
Depending on the severity of the violation, a driver may face fines, points on their license, and even jail time. Accumulating too many points on a driver’s license can result in its suspension or revocation by PennDOT. Additionally, insurance rates are likely to increase significantly due to carriers’ perceiving the driver as now being a higher risk.
It is important to take any traffic ticket seriously, and consider all potential consequences before deciding how to proceed. A good approach is to consult a Luzerne County traffic ticket attorney who focuses on traffic law, as they will be able to provide advice tailored specifically for your case.

How to Fight a Traffic Ticket
There are several legal strategies available to contest the ticket. In some cases, it may be possible to have the charges dropped or dismissed entirely. This could happen if the officer lacked probable cause to make a stop. Police officers must at least have a reasonable basis for believing a violation has been committed before they turn on the flashing red lights and summon a driver to the side of the road.
It’s also possible that someone else was driving the car. This might be proven by pulling traffic camera footage, evidence that defense counsel can obtain from the District Attorney’s office.
Furthermore, a radar gun is not infallible. Radar guns have to be properly maintained and calibrated or they won’t work correctly. It’s the obligation of law enforcement to properly calibrate their radar guns and be able to document to a court that they have done so. An aggressive and experienced attorney can hold the authorities accountable for their responsibilities.
