Contesting A Speeding Ticket

There are many reasons why a court and an arresting officer would love for you to simply pay a speeding ticket. Nevertheless, the most obvious one is that you take money from the coffers of the municipality that pays their salaries. However, there are times when you can fight a speeding ticket and win. The alternatives are points on your permanent driving record, fines, and possible jail time, and rising insurance rates. However, depending on the judge and the jurisdiction, fighting a speeding ticket can be an uphill battle. If you do choose to contest it, be sure to know the requirements listed on the ticket and follow them. Prepare your defense carefully and present it respectfully. However, be prepared to accept a plea bargain for a lesser charge if you see that the judge is unwilling to dismiss your case entirely.

Fast Facts

  • Always be prepared in case the arresting officer doesn't appear, thereby causing your case to be dismissed.
  • If you have a complicated defense, especially one involving radar or laser equipment, you may want to consult a lawyer; those defenses are generally too complex for a layman.
