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
