What issues will not be considered in a civil traffic hearing?

Only those issues that pertain to the specific traffic law alleged to have been violated will be considered. Examples of issues that will not be considered include:

• Who should pay who for damages stemming from an accident that took place, i.e.: who was at “fault” in the accident
• The “rudeness” of the police officer who issued the traffic ticket
• Whether a particular violation was done intentionally or by simple oversight
• Whether the defendant has the money to pay a potential fine that could be imposed
• Whether anyone was injured or otherwise put at risk by the conduct of the defendant
