REQUEST FOR INFRACTION HEARING 

Infraction No. __________________

  I agree to have committed the infraction(s) and I want a mitigation

            hearing to explain the circumstances.  Please send me a court date, and I

            promise to appear on that date.  I know I can ask witnesses to appear but they

            are not required to appear.  I understand this will go on my driving record

            if “traffic” is checked on the front.  In some cases the court may allow time

            payments or reduce the penalty.

 I want to contest (challenge) this infraction.  I did not commit the infraction.

            Please send me a court date, and I promise to appear on that date.  The state

            must prove beyond a preponderance of the evidence that I committed the

            infraction.  I know I can require (subpoena) witnesses, including the officer

            who wrote the ticket, to attend the hearing.  The court will tell me how to

            request a witness’s appearance.  I understand this will go on my driving record

            if I lose and “traffic” is checked on the front.
