From what my brother said, he just wrote a letter describing his situation (why he was innocent of the charge), included a few pictures, and sent that in with the forms. He probably still has it on his computer - give me a couple of hours and I'll ask him about it.


Edit:

Ok, I'm looking at the letter he sent, it's pretty standard - he just pulled it out of his head. His first sentence was one that they kind of asked for, something to make the letter sound official:

He goes on to then describe the events as they happened, in detail, over the course of 5 paragraphs. He gives the date and time of the event, a description of the road conditions, when he saw the officer and what happened when he was "pulled over". Next he gave a couple of quick paragraphs as to why he believed the officer was wrong in citing him.

Finally, on the second page, he just listed/described the pictures he was including as evidence (which I suppose you won't have).


That's about it. He included the normal "letter" type things - "From", "To", "Date", and a closing/signature at the bottom. Just write the letter in a formal manner - don't make it sound like a punk 16 year old wrote it - check the spelling and grammar, all the normal things.

 

ahh ok cool thanks... yah i don't have any pictures or anything, just me defence. hope it's good enough. well i'll write this out and see how it goes.

 

ok so... I just got a letter back from the court saying I am found guilty for that ticket

not sure if I want to do that trial de novo thing... not sure what to do

 

Aw man sry to hear that, I'm still waiting to see how much my ticket will be =\

 

how the hell did they come up with guilty?

 

that you lost this ticket is unbelievable...

 

thats what i'm thinking.... i have no idea how i lost not sure what to do now...

i heard they are cracking down on written declarations now and its harder to fight it =/

 

you can still go to court can't you? I would think this is the perfect example of why they put written declarations in place, it's a bull**** ticket and would be a waste of time (somewhat expensive taxpayer paid time) to deal with it in the courthouse. . . go figure

 

so Daios, wut did u do?

 

Wow, that sucks that you lost, man. Sorry to go off topic, but I got a ticket on the 1st in a speed trap also and am stilll waiting to get mailed the courtesy letter, and it says my court day is the 26 from what is written on the ticket. I would request driving school, since that will take off the point on your liscense, but the thing is that I was told that even if you do request driving school your insurance is still notified and that your insurancc well still go up anyway. Does anyone know if that is true?

 

i lost looks like traffic school for me =/
