Understanding Your Rights in Traffic Violation Cases
You have the right to fight your traffic ticket in Massachusetts. You have several options when it comes to fighting your ticket. You may be able to get your ticket reduced to a warning, you may be able to plead to a lesser offense, or you may be able to have your case dismissed completely.
You have 60 days to pay your ticket. After that time, you will be liable for the ticket and the associated fines, points, and/or community service hours.
If you choose to fight your ticket, you may have to go to court. You may also need to hire a Worcester traffic ticket lawyer depending on the outcome you want. If you want to plead guilty to the ticket but avoid the fines, points, and/or community service hours, you may be able to do so without an attorney.
Reasons The Court Sometimes Dismisses a Ticket
If you have a good reason why you committed the traffic violation, you may be able to get your ticket dismissed. For example, if you were pulled over for a traffic violation and the officer did not follow proper procedure, such as pulling you over a safe distance away and using their lights and sirens, you may be able to get your ticket dismissed.
