Speeding Tickets Are Costly

One thing that people want to avoid is the prospect of receiving a Speeding Ticket. It’s costly, and if you’re looking up at a police officer who has stopped you in traffic to write you a citation, it’s also embarrassing. Today, with the advent of the photo radar ticket, you might not realize the damage your lead foot has done until days or possibly weeks later when you open your mail to find an image of your license plate on your vehicle that was speeding merrily along; if that’s not enough, you’ll also find inside that envelope a hefty fine for breaking the law. If you spot the flashing red and blue lights in your rearview mirror, there are some important steps you can do at that moment that can help you beat the speeding ticket, and either pay a reduced fine or, in some cases, no fine. Anyone who has been pulled over for speeding knows how it’s tempting to argue with a police officer. This is something other than what you want to do for several reasons. There are, however, certain reactions that can help on the spot. It’s an old belief that acting as though you don’t know what you did wrong won’t help. That might not be the case. The same can be said for acting scared or upset. Police officers are, first and foremost, people just like you and sometimes human nature takes over, and they’ll let you leave with just a stern warning. That’s not to say that you should break into tears when the police officer comes to your car but showing some emotion certainly cannot hurt. Depending on the citation size, it might be in your best interest to consult with a traffic ticket specialist. These are normally attorneys specializing in traffic violations or retired police officers who want to help the average citizen. Their familiarity and expertise in the area of speeding and traffic afford them insight into some of the lesser-known loopholes. Another alternative to hiring someone to fight the speeding ticket fight for you is to do it yourself. Instead of paying the fine, you attend court on the date specified in the officer’s original citation. Your plea is, of course, going to be “not guilty. “Again, there are many small things the motorist can do in court to better their chances of not paying such a high fine. When facing a speeding ticket, the motorist needs to remember that the fine most likely isn’t the only price they pay for going above the posted speed limit. Speeding tickets often mean an increase in insurance premiums. Sometimes, the fine can be hefty, depending on the violation. Being clocked and going well over the speed limit could cost hundreds of dollars when the ticket and the increase in insurance premiums are combined. Weighing all the options could result in lots of money saved.

Bandera Personal Injury Attorneys – Motorcycle Accidents

A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer can assist you in recovering full compensation if you’ve been the victim of a motorcycle accident. No one wants to have an accident. You wouldn’t even wish one on your most hated enemy.

Road rash is an understatement. Usually, it is the least damage you get from being a motorcycle rider having an accident and you know perfectly well the ultimate possibility in an accident involving motorcycles: death.

Motorcycle riders are not required by law to wear a helmet if they have insurance amounting to at least $10,000 and/or a Personal Injury Protection of at least $10,000.

Some insurance companies contend that motorcycle riders who get into an accident and get a traumatic brain injury were liable to get that injury anyway because that person was not wearing a helmet.

While laws do say that it is not a requirement to wear a helmet, it is just not good sense to go without a helmet while riding a motorcycle.

If you do have the misfortune of wrecking your motorbike, it may be in your best interest to contact a motorcycle accident lawyer.

It can be difficult to establish your innocence in the case of motorcycle accidents. A motorcycle accident lawyer may be necessary to plead your case if you have difficulty dealing with the insurance company or getting compensation.

Motorcycles do have the same basic right as any other motor vehicle except for a few differences. Mainly this regards how a motorcycle is to run on the road, how it should behave in pedestrian traffic, and generally, where it is allowed by law to operate on the various roadways.

Bicycles, at first thought, should be classified as pedestrian since it is human-powered, right? Nope. A bicycle is still defined as a vehicle, whether it is human-powered or not. Therefore bicycle riders also enjoy the same rights as motorcycles and mopeds.

The only difference between the two modes of transportation is that a motorcycle needs to use its signal lights to turn in any direction while bicycle riders need to use hand signals to indicate their intentions.

While figuring in an accident with a bicycle may sound ridiculous, it does happen, and it is more common than you might expect. Although not as “in demand” as motorcycle accident lawyers, a bicycle accident lawyer is sometimes needed in special cases, particularly accidents involving bicycles and cars.

While accidents are a part of our daily lives that we would prefer to do without, the sad fact is that accidents will not go away until driver education and personal prevention measures can force it down to a level that it becomes insignificant.

If and when you do get involved in an accident, always contact a motorcycle accident lawyer so that all facts can be established and you can be assured of recovering your losses financially.
