Full text statute provided. Reading the law does not substitute for professional legal advice, and PATICKET.COM does not provide legal advice or help. You should consider hiring or consulting with an attorney. Further, all statutes are interpreted by case law which is not included here, and which may or may not change the plain language of the vehicle code statute in question, and or effect the various burdens, presumptions, defenses, and prosecution theories applicable to the statute in any given setting or hearing. Traffic Court is a serious matter, and a conviction for a violation can result in fines, costs, insurance premium increases, license suspension, and even jail time. |
