TRAFFIC COURT TIP OF THE DAY - SEATBELTS - DRIVERS, CHILDREN AND ADULT PASSENGERS
Seatbelts everyone. It not just a tag line on a kids cartoon (remember The Magic School Bus) it’s the law. Every driver is responsible for their seat belt as well the proper restraint of anyone under the age of 16 who is a passenger.
PLEA BARGAINING IN TRAFFIC COURT
People who receive traffic tickets will often want to make a deal. For example, if they can get their 6 point speeding ticket reduced to a parking ticket, or a lesser points non-speeding ticket, its a very desirable result.
Whats the difference between fail to stop for a stop sign and daily to yield at a stop sign?
At a stop sign (pictured above) one must come to a full and complete cessation of all movement (tires must cease rolling) at the marked intersection (usually a stop line or crosswalk) or a safe point near the intersection. If one fails to stop that is a failure to stop for a stop sign violation. A further obligation is that once stopped one shall remain stopped until it is their turn to proceed and its safe to do so. If one proceeds into the intersection before their right to do so, that’s failure to yield.
