I have just recieved a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt. Any advice on how I can fight this and win it?

I am 17 and this is going to screw me over for a long time. I realize it was stupid but i just have to try and get out of these demerit points.I have just recieved a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt. Any advice on how I can fight this and win it?
it shouldn't be a point ticket? just a fine the first time I believe.... pay it and learn your lesson.I have just recieved a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt. Any advice on how I can fight this and win it?
It really depends on which state you are in. Each state has different laws and different requirements for driver's licenses. To challenge it, set up a court date (the instructions on how to do this are usually handed out with the ticket in most states). In my state, if the officer fails to appear at the hearing, you win. If he does show up, however, you lose and typically pay more than just the fine (court costs).





You can also ask for pre-trial intervention programs like driving school to ensure you do not get any points.
its only a 1 point ticket and within a year can be off your record.








but it you want to try and get it reduced, which i dont know what else, maybelike a broke taillight....








but you can go to court on your court date and ask the judge to reduce it down to something that doesnt put a point on your license.





but bring backup like your parents and have them ask the judge... support from your parents might get the judge some empathy
There's really no fighting it... you weren't wearing it, and that's clearly breaking the law. The best thing to do to get out of those points would be to take one of those driver classes meant for people who want to get some points off their license. They won't remove all of the points, but a few is better than a lot.
Plead not guilty.


Request a supporting deposition from the cop.


If he/she doesn't provide that, or if they don't show up for the court date, the summons will probably be dismissed.


Last resort, tell the court that you were wearing it, but when you began to get pulled over, you undid it...
Just challenge it and go to court, 60% of the time the officers don't show up and it is an automatic win for you.The other 40% of the time u can usually get away with winning 15% of the time
That isn't a moving violation, so it shouldn't affect your insurance. How would you fight it anyway - either you were wearing it or you weren't. Not a lot of gray area there. Wear your seatbelt next time.
Were you wearing your seat belt? That would be your only defense, and if you were not you deserve the ticket. Pay it.
it's not a point ticket....Just the fine. Seatbelts are the law, you couldnt get out of it anyway
