Defective equipment is a minor no-points traffic infraction. A common example of defective equipment is operating a motor vehicle with a broken headlight. A violation might trigger a nominal fine. There is no other negative long-standing impact. In many instances, we can convince the Judge to find our client NOT GUILTY of criminal misdemeanor reckless driving. If the Judge is unwilling to dismiss the case completely, then a defective equipment disposition is the next best result.
