At times you have to take your traffic violation to court. You may have been innocent or there may have been a procedural error that made you get the ticket for whatever infraction it may have been. Either way, you can defend yourself to attempt to win and get your ticket dismissed. There are some things you should avoid doing to increase your chances of winning.
Put on some clothes that are a bit more formal. Dressing up slightly, shaving if you are a guy, and making yourself presentable will help. While a judge should not ever be biased about such things it could happen. Avoid this risk and look nice.
Show up early so that you can be sure to be where you are supposed to be on time. Being late could mean that you miss your opportunity or frustrate those you are trying to convince otherwise.
It's a good idea to never interrupt the judge. You do have a right to make your points, but you have to be respectful of the judge as well. Let him or her finish their statements making your points when you are allowed to.
Come to court with a real defence to your specific. If it's something you heard from a friend or found on an internet site, you may want to double check these before using them in court. The problem is that many of these techniques are outdated or have just been passed around as common knowledge. Also what works in one state might not work in yours so keep that in mind. If you can win just part of your case, generally the ticket must be thrown out making you free from the obligation to pay the fines.
