My husband received a traffic citation. We are both on the title. I was not with him when the incident occurred. However, although he is named the driver, I am named the defendant.
That sounds like a confusing situation, ****. It's unusual for you to be named as the defendant if you weren't driving. You might want to consider these steps:
- Verify the details on the citation for any errors.
- Contact the issuing authority to clarify the error.
- Consider attending the court date to explain the situation.
Would you like more information on how to handle traffic citations in Alabama?
My husband has tried to contact the official and has left a message.
It seems you might need to wait for a response from the issuing authority to resolve this mix-up. Meanwhile, you could:
- Gather any paperwork proving you weren't driving.
- Prepare to attend the court date with your husband to explain the situation.
If you'd like, I can provide more details about handling traffic citations in Alabama or connect you to a local lawyer for advice.
My husband has tried to contact them. We are waiting for a call back. I guess that is all we can do at this time. Thank you for your help.I am a North Carolina resident.
