My Ticket Has Moving And Both Nullifiable And Non-Nullifiable Non-Moving Violations. I Only Fixed Some Of My Nullifiable Violations.

Jim was on his way to the airport on January 5, 2006 when he was clocked doing 40 mph in a 30 mph zone. As the officer approached Jim’s car, he noticed that Jim didn’t have a Metro sticker on it. To make matters worse, Jim wasn’t wearing his seat belt and his insurance had expired last week. Jim received a total of 4 violations on this ticket. He knew that he could avoid paying the fine for not having his Metro sticker by simply sending in proof and the nullification fee. Since Jim was going to be out of town he knew that he would not be able to get his insurance renewed in time to show proof; therefore, he decided to pay the original fine for that violation. Jim consulted our Insurance Violations Page and found that he would need to contact the Department of Safety to reinstate his driver's license even though he had paid the fine by his compliance date. Jim also remembered that he had another seat belt ticket back in 2004 but he wasn’t sure if that would count against him. After reading the instructions on the ticket, he learned that most violations only count toward a second or third offense if they occurred in the past twelve months. But seat belt and child restraint offenses are different - they always count!

Jim knew that he was going to be out of town on business until February 16th and was worried that he wouldn’t be back in time to take a copy of his vehicle registration certificate to the Traffic Violation Bureau before his 45 days expired. As he sat on the plane he got out a calendar and started counting days. How lucky!!! The 45th day was on a Sunday and the next Monday was a holiday so he had until Tuesday, the 21st, to get his proof and payment to the Bureau.

Jim calculated that he owed the following amount for this ticket:

Code	Description	Amount
A	Speeding	$50.00
G	Seat Belt (2nd Offense)	$20.00
H	Metro Sticker Law	$12.00
S	Proof of Insurance	$50.00
	Administrative Fee	$42.00
	TOTAL DUE	$174.00

Jim made out a check for that amount and wrote his ticket number on the check to ensure proper credit. He then put a note on the check to remind himself to take his copy of the ticket and a copy of his registration certificate with him when he went to pay the ticket.

NOTE: If you hold a commercial driver’s license issued in any state, you are not eligible to attend Defensive Driving classes per 49 C.F.R. §384.226 and T.C.A. §55-10-301(c). 49 C.F.R. §384.226 also does not allow for the nullification of moving or non-moving traffic violations. This applies regardless of the type of vehicle being operated at the time of the violation. Refer to the Fine Amount columns on the Moving and Non-Moving Violations tables for the corresponding fine for your violation(s).
