    Your completed declaration ships via USPS certified mail with tracking included.

Your Right to Fight by Mail — California Vehicle Code § 40902

  • CVC § 40902 gives every California driver the right to contest a citation by written declaration — no court appearance, no time off work, no traffic school required.

  • You submit your written defense by mail. A judge reviews it independently and mails you a verdict — without you ever setting foot in a courthouse.

  • If you don't prevail on the first try, you are entitled to a Trial De Novo — the court returns your bail deposit and you get a second chance to contest in person.
