Contest A Speeding Ticket

There are over 100,000 speeding tickets issued daily in America, which means that many of those people will have a moving violation on their driving record, see their insurance rates increase, face fines, and possibly jail time, and even cause an accident. However, if you were given a speeding ticket, you are only charged with speeding, not convicted of it. If it is a false charge, you can fight it. The steps vary by jurisdiction. However, there are several things to remember no matter where you are. Treat the arresting officer with respect; it will not help your case to antagonize him. Read your ticket carefully and follow the steps exactly. If you miss a step or a deadline, you could be found guilty by default. Begin preparing your evidence at the scene.

Fast Facts

  • In some states, you must sign your ticket whether you're contesting the charges or not. In other states, your signature is an admission of guilt. Know what is required in your jurisdiction.
  • If you choose to challenge radar or laser evidence, you may need a lawyer. Those defenses are too complex to handle without expert help.
