Hey HN,
I built WorkZoneSpeedingTicket.com to solve a specific problem: automated work zone speed cameras are popping up everywhere (NY, CA, PA, etc.), and the fines (~$50-$100) are in that awkward "too cheap to hire a lawyer, but too expensive to just roll over and pay" range.
The Problem: States are rolling out automated enforcement in construction zones. Often, the signage is non-compliant, or the "work zone" is inactive, but the cameras issue tickets anyway. Disputing them manually is a hassle designed to make you pay.
The Solution: I built a tool that takes your ticket details and generates a jurisdiction-specific dispute letter citing relevant vehicle codes (e.g., California Vehicle Code or NY VTL).
How it works:
User inputs ticket info.
AI cross-references the location/time against state-specific defense templates (signage distance, equipment calibration requirements).
Generates a PDF dispute letter.
(Coming soon) We automate the certified mailing via the Lob API so you don't have to go to the post office.
The goal is to democratize access to legal disputes for low-level infractions. I used Lovable to spin up the frontend quickly and am refining the backend logic now.
I’d love feedback on the flow or if anyone knows specific state statutes I should add to the database next.
I wish there was a directory of some sort for these "specialized LLM tools". But I guess the "circle of ai" means that these custom prompts and such will eventually just be regurgitated by the models themselves, so it might get dated pretty quickly.
