To avoid speeding tickets, you must start working from the second you are pulled over. Be courteous to the officer, plead ignorance, and ask for a written warning. If this fails, begin to document the situation immediately. Ask to see the radar gun, and get the exact make used. Write down how far from the officer you were when tagged, and whether the officer was moving or stationary at the time. If there is anything on the scene that you feel will prove your innocence, document it. Once you get your court date, try to delay it. As your case is small, the officer may not show, leading to a dismissal. In court, request the officer provides records proving the gun was accurate and up-to-date with its calibrations. Plead "not guilty." In addition, as a last resort, try to enter into a traffic school course in exchange for having your ticket waived.
