Traffic court is a special branch of the judicial system that deals with traffic violations. Anything that you have done wrong regarding the basic rules of the road could land you in traffic court. However, you do not always have to go. Many times, you only have to go if you decide to fight the ticket. If you get a speeding ticket, for example, you will just have to mail the court a check for the right amount of money. They will not want to see you unless you believe that you were not guilty and want to see the case before a judge.
Speeding is the main violation that people are pulled over for, but there are many other reasons that you could have to go to traffic court. If you run a red light and are caught either by a police officer or a security camera, you could have to go. If you hit another car with your own car, you could have to go -- this can be true even if it is not your fault since the other person may want to fight the charges and you will need to be there to say what really happened. You can end up in traffic court for all other roadway violations as well, from driving the wrong way on a one way road to parking on the sidewalk to failing to yield at a crosswalk. Again, some of these things will not require you to go to court if they will let you admit your guilt and mail in the money.
If you do want to fight the charges and go to traffic court, the police officer who stopped you will have to be present to testify. Many times, police officers do not have the time to worry about this. They have too many other things that they need to do. People get off every year because they take a basic traffic ticket to court and the police officer does not show up. All that they have to do if this happens is wait around for a little while until the judge decides that the charges will have to be dropped. This will not happen for large charges, but only for the little things -- such as speeding tickets and parking tickets -- that traffic court is designed to deal with on a daily basis. It is not a good idea to go to court only for this reason, but it could work.
