What You Need to Know About Traffic Tickets

Silver Spring Traffic Violation Lawyer

Every year, there are thousands of tickets written throughout the state of Maryland for various traffic violations. It is also a common occurrence for an individual to be arrested and charged with a traffic violation of some kind.

If you have been cited with a moving violation or a traffic violation ticket, then there are several things you must know. This information could potentially preserve your driving record, as well as your driver's license in some cases.

Traffic Citation Issues

First, you must think of a traffic ticket like a criminal charge. Just because you have been written the ticket does not necessarily mean you will need to pay it - the same way a criminal charge does not mean the accused is guilty. If you pay the ticket or citation, then you are essentially pleading guilty to the charge and you will be convicted. The penalties for a traffic violation include the fine but may also include a mark against your driving record or other potential penalties. This can be a very serious issue in the future, especially if you depend on your license or driving record to maintain employment.

The second thing you must be aware of is that in the case of an arrest, a police officer can tell you a direct lie in order to obtain enough information to secure a conviction. He / she can tell you that there is irrefutable evidence that you are guilty and that going to court will only make matters worse, even if this is untrue or inaccurate. Because of this practice, it is imperative to the success of your case that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
