Fighting a traffic ticket requires you take certain steps immediately following your being pulled over for the citation. It is your burden to prove your innocence, and your testimony or that of others in your car alone is not enough to do so. You need to document what it is that you feel proves your innocence. You can do so by both writing information down and taking clear photographs of anything at the scene that bolsters your case. If there are independent eyewitnesses, collect their testimony and contact information. If there are road, weather or traffic conditions that you feel caused the incident, document them. In addition, once you get your court date, delay it if possible. This may cause the officer to lose interest in such a small case and not show for court, which will lead to a dismissal. When you finally do go to court, be aware of any plea possibilities you could eligible for in exchange for a lesser charge or complete dismissal.
