Among people who disputed and got a decision, these violation types were dismissed (not guilty) most often. Historical group rates — not a prediction for any individual ticket.

These violation types were dismissed least often at decided hearings — many are camera or owner-liability violations where fewer defenses apply.

Most people never dispute

Of the ১,৬১,০১,৫৫৩ tickets issued in 2025, only ২২,৫৪,৯০৮ (14.0%) have reached a decided hearing so far — yet across all decided hearings on record, 26.2% ended not guilty. The vast majority of tickets are simply paid without anyone checking whether they could be beaten.

Estimate methodology: ১,৩৮,৪৬,৬৪৫ tickets issued in 2025 have no decided hearing. If those tickets had been dismissed at the historical all-hearings rate of 26.2%, at the 2025 average fine of $72 per ticket, that fine money would have been waived. This is an illustrative estimate, not a measured amount: tickets that are disputed are not a random sample, some undecided tickets are still pending, and past group rates do not predict individual outcomes.
