I may have been speeding but the officer wrote a citation called “violation of a traffic control device”. Can I win the ticket because the wrong box is checked on the ticket?
This is a very common question and the answer will sometimes surprise people. A speed limit sign is an official traffic control device. It the same as a stop sign, red light, no turn on red or do not enter sign. When the officer issues you a ticket for violating that speed limit sign it is often a ‘break’ on the ticket and involves a lower fine and a decrease in the number of possible points to your driving record.
