Possible Options & Defenses to Traffic Offenses in Gilbert, AZ
There are numerous options that you might use if the Gilbert police issued you a ticket. If you are ticketed for a moving violation, for example, you can probably complete an online Defensive Driving School (DDS) through an authorized MVD vendor. Website can be found at www.azdrive.com for a list of authorized traffic schools. If you successfully complete the course 14 days before your ticket deadline, your violation will probably be dismissed.
DDS will not be an option if:
- This is your second offense, or
- You were driving on a Commercial Driver’s License).
Even without DDS eligibility, you can always dispute the violation in court. A traffic violation attorney can help you downgrade your charge to a lesser offense to reduce the impact on your driving record, insurance premiums, etc. Speak with your attorney to find out what defenses are available. The evidence against you may be weak, for example, or the police may have violated your constitutional rights.
