The American trucker gets a raw deal when it comes to traffic ticket violations.
First of all the DMV jpo98int count is one and a half points instead of one point.
Secondly, a trucker cannot go to traffic school . If a trucker is driving the
family car and gets a ticket, he cannot attend traffic school. That’s a pretty
rotten result. But, there is; A trucker is often on the road and all over this
country and cannot get back to the court to fight the ticket, that’s another
problem for the trucker. Unlike most of the rest of us, our privilege to drive
is not our livelihood. When a trucker gets too many points, his employer will
not hire him to work. The insurance company will charge very high rates, making
the drivers basic expenses too high to drive for a living.
I often
recommend that my driver clients have me prepare a Trial by written declaration
as a more cost effective way to fight the ticket. No court appearance is necessary
and the distances involved do not add to the legal costs. The trial by written
declaration can also be prepared by the driver, without an attorneys fees.
It is true that the driver would only have factual rather than extra and powerful
law defenses, however, the Trial by Declaration creates a number of ways to
beat the ticket, lawyer or no lawyer. It is this writer’s considered legal and
expert opinion that a Trial by Declaration should be filed in every traffic case
where a DMV point is possible.
The Trial by Declaration also gives
the driver an opportunity to present the equities, the very good reasons why
the judge should give the driver a non point conviction. This is a good alternative
for the court, because they get the money and a conviction and the driver
avoids a DMV point against his license. The Trial by Declaration also avoids the
extra legal expense by avoiding the necessity of a lawyer having to appear and
fight the case in court. When the lawyer must travel a great distance, the costs
of travel and accommodations is avoided.
The driver who is back
on the east coast making his deliveries, can have his case competently fought
for a minimal costs and by a competent traffic trial lawyer who knows the law defenses
in the case and that lawyer can make special appeals for a non point conviction
if necessary.
You don’t lose your right to a court trial if
you lose the Trial by Declaration! You have a right to request a court trial.
You can appear in court or have a competent traffic lawyer appear and fight the
case for you, if necessary. The officer may fail to appear and you win! You can
even hire a lawyer who is very competent to fight the ticket and he can take
the dismissal if you cannot get to the trial. Just have a lawyer there for you
and the cost should be minimal.
Fighting a ticket always creates opportunities
for good things to happen! It"s so much better than just paying the
ticket and watching your insurance rates go up and having the DMV point(s) against
your driving record. Your driving record can affect your job, insurance or
have other negative effects on your life situation. Fight that ticket.
