Traffic violation tickets range from speeding to forgetting to use your turning signal.  If you receive a ticket, don't panic.  You may be able to have the charges dropped by fighting the ticket in court.  Here are a few of the advantages to fighting your ticket.

Advantages:
  • Dropped Charges - The most obvious advantage of contesting a traffic violation is that your charges are dropped.  You won't have to pay a traffic ticket, have the incident added to your driving record and you won't have any points added to your license.
  • Maintain Insurance Premium - Insurance companies keep a close eye on your driving habits, including any tickets you receive.  If you fight your ticket and win, your premium won't go up!
  • Retain Driving Privileges - Certain speeding tickets can suspend or revoke your driving privileges.  Keeping this ticket off your record will prevent this.
