Traffic court practice
Rehearse your hearing before you face the magistrate.
You are the defendant, with no lawyer. The magistrate reads the citation, asks how you plead, questions your story and your evidence, and lets the officer answer. Then the court rules, and you get coaching on how you presented.
15 rounds free (a round is one exchange with your opponent).

See it in action
A traffic hearing, start to finish
- You pick a citation. A radar speeding ticket and an impatient magistrate with a busy docket.
- You present your side. Short turns and pointed questions about your proof, with the officer's account put to you.
- The court rules. The ruling in plain words, then a scorecard on your story, your evidence and your respect for the court.

How a session works
Three steps, a few minutes
- Pick a citation. Use a practice case such as a radar speeding ticket, an automated red-light camera or a stop sign, or describe your own: what the citation says, what happened and what evidence you have. Choose a fair, strict or impatient judge.
- Plead and present your side. The magistrate runs a busy docket, so every turn is short. Expect pointed questions about the dates, your evidence and the officer's account, and a nudge when your proof has a gap, such as 'Do you have anything in writing?'
- Get the ruling and the coaching. The court rules: guilty with the fine in plain words, not guilty, dismissed or reduced. Then a scorecard rates the clarity of your story, your evidence, your respect for the court and how persuasive you were.

Sample scorecard
What a defendant sees after a practice hearing
“I'm sure the sign was blocked by the tree.”
A claim with no photo and no date is easy for a magistrate to set aside.
Try instead: “Your Honor, this photo of the intersection was taken on the 14th and shows the sign hidden by the branch.”

What to know before you use it
- It is rehearsal, not advice. It cannot tell you whether to contest a ticket, what to plead or what your court will do. A practice ruling does not predict a real one.
- Rules vary by court. Deadlines, procedures and what is allowed differ by state and county, so check your own court's rules and deadlines for your citation.
- Short turns, like a real docket. Judges here are busy and informal but firm, so you practice being concise.
- A fair hearing. The magistrate does not coach you, points out gaps in your proof and gives the other side a chance to respond.
- Your own details. Use a practice case, or describe your citation and the evidence you have.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is this legal advice?
No. It is practice for a self-represented person. It cannot tell you whether to contest a ticket, how to plead or how your court will rule. Check your court's own rules and deadlines.
Can I practice my own ticket?
Yes. Describe what the citation says, what happened and what evidence you have. The magistrate will test your story the way a real one does.
Does it follow my state's rules?
The practice cases are general. Procedures and rules differ by state, county and court, so treat this as practice in presenting your side clearly, not as a guide to your court's rules.
Who plays the officer?
The magistrate speaks for the officer and the clerk when they must speak, and answers your questions as the officer plausibly would from the case file.
Can I choose a tougher judge?
Yes. Choose a fair judge, a strict one who holds you to the rules, or an impatient one with a busy docket.
Can I speak instead of typing?
Yes. Voice input works in Chrome and Edge; in other browsers, type your answers.
