What are the issues involved in a civil traffic hearing?

The question to be determines in any given hearing will vary depending on the specific allegations of violation contained in the complaint. It may, therefore be helpful to note the exact section number of the “ARS” or “CC” that is refereed to and alleged to have been committed in the complaint. The section number together with the written description, can then be used to refer to the specific section of Title 28 of the Arizona Revised Statutes as to the specific law that is alleged as having been broken.  Remember that a civil traffic hearing is only about whether this alleged traffic law was broken.
