What Are the Lesser Included Offenses in Traffic Law?

Video Transcript

"You've received still another traffic citation this month, and you are studying and considering the idea that if you decide to fight this traffic citation, you may be able to get by with a lesser included offense in the traffic citation. But you don't know what is a lesser included offense in the traffic citation for the ordinance for which you've been charged. Hello, I'm Robert Todd, and I'm here to answer the question "What are the lesser included offenses of traffic law?" Well of course this is going to vary from state to state, and is going to vary on what particular traffic law you violated for which you were charged. So one of the first things you want to do is, you want to check the citation itself and read it, to see if perhaps it describes and outlines the lesser included offenses for the particular traffic ordinance or statute that you violated. Failing that, go to the internet, pull up the Division of Motor Vehicles website, go online, take a look at the ordinances and see what lesser included offenses are listed there. I'm Robert Todd, and thank you for watching."
