How to Reduce a Traffic Ticket: Improper Equipment

Don't just pay that ticket! Let me try to get it reduced for you, maybe to "improper equipment." Read below to find out why, and then call me at (919) 683-2175.

What is Improper Equipment?

Many District Attorneys will allow a person charged with a speeding ticket or other moving violation to plead responsible to the reduced charge of "improper equipment," also known as "I.E."

How is This Helpful?

Improper equipment is not a moving violation. It carries no driver's license or insurance points. It's the next best thing to having the case dismissed.

When IE is Not Available

When an IE is not available, there may be other ways to keep a driver's insurance from going up, such as prayer for judgment continued, which I have discussed in another post. Learn more about how insurance points work.

Is This Right?

Finally, some people wonder how it's right to let someone who is charged with a speeding ticket or improper passing to plead to improper equipment.

The simple answer is that it is an act of grace or mercy on the part of the State and of the judge. And who among us does not need a bit or grace or mercy at least a few times in our lives? I know I do!
