Can I contest a traffic ticket I received?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, you can contest a traffic ticket you have received. If you believe you were wrongly issued a ticket or have valid reasons to challenge it, you have the right to dispute it in court. To contest the ticket, you must plead not guilty and request a traffic court hearing. This can usually be done in person or online depending on the specific procedures of the Traffic Violations Bureau. It is recommended to review the ticket details and gather any supporting evidence or witnesses to support your case. The hearing will provide an opportunity for you to present your defense, cross-examine the issuing officer, and provide any evidence to prove your innocence. Remember to adhere to the assigned court date and follow the necessary steps to request a hearing promptly.
