If you receive a speeding ticket, there are many costly consequences, not the least of which is the fine itself. In most states, the violation will appear on your driving record and increases your insurance rates. You'll also face additional penalties for repeat offenses. If you believe you are innocent, you can fight the ticket in a court for speeding tickets. There are a number of defenses that are effective in various jurisdictions. If your state has an absolute speed law system, even a mile over the speed limit can result in a ticket that is more difficult to fight. In a presumed speed limit state, you're presumed to be breaking the law by going over the speed limit, but you may be able to prove that you were driving at a safe speed for the traffic and conditions.
