Out-of-Town Drivers: You Can Still Fight This

✈️

Got a ticket while visiting Seal Beach?

Trial by Written Declaration works for out-of-state and out-of-county drivers:

  • No need to return to California — Everything handled remotely
  • Out-of-state plates accepted — California law applies regardless of registration state
  • Rental car tickets — If the rental company forwarded the citation to you, you can fight it
  • 100% remote process — Submit online, we file electronically, court mails decision

Don't just pay it because you live far away. A California conviction reports to your home state DMV and affects your insurance there.

Parking vs. Moving Violations

Moving Violations ✅

Can use Trial by Written Declaration

  • Speeding
  • Running red lights/stop signs
  • Cell phone while driving
  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Any violation that adds a DMV point
These carry DMV points and affect insurance — worth fighting with TBWD.

  • Meter violations
  • No parking zones
  • Street sweeping
  • Expired registration (parked car)
  • Most parking citations
These go through city parking appeals, not traffic court.
