i got a freaking speeding ticket yesterday for 40 in a 25....
first off..id like to say that my spedometer said 38, there is a difference... right now i cant really afford a ticket because of insurance...so does anyone have any experience about this? what happened: driving home from work, person in front of me is driving like a blind old man...so once he makes a left i ping it just a tad (i am not an unsafe driver, i dont speed often) so i get up to around 40..but definetly not at it or over. i see a sign that says 25...so i begin to brake and like almost right after is a cop in a driveway...once i saw him i pulled over...because i just knew it...he pulled up behind me and asked for my license and whatever... the thing is..he never stated to me why i was pulled over or anything....didnt even tell me how fast i was going, i had to find out from the ticket. do you think i can fight this reasonably? and have a chance of getting it dropped or reduced...its pretty important thanks for the help Aaron |

Last tidbit:
There is one more misconception in the thread: this is not like a trial where the tribunal (jury, judge) is seeking the truth or justice. That is saved for the tickets where you were DUI, or there was an injury or property damage. Here, the system in based on an old boy network. There are a few lawyers who do traffic work and there are a few judges who do traffic work and neither of them are especially satisfied with their lots in life. So when they meet up, they know each other and smile and make deals. That is what you are paying for, their friendship. You get the benefit of that, which will be some reduced nonpoints offense. The other benefit is that when you are represented, you do not have to wait the 3-1/2 hours, you are called first. BTW, this is not the case when you get tagged in an honest-to-god speeding trap, typically in the south, or goofy little towns elsewhere. That's what I meant when I said you are going to pay someone for this, either the town or the lawyer. |
