Speeding Ticket Appeal

As with any court order, you do have the right to appeal a speeding ticket citation to a higher court. However, before you undertake the onerous task of filing an appeal, you should be aware that the likelihood of being able to overturn a speeding ticket citation on appeal is very slim. On appeal, the presumption is usually that all facts are taken in the light most favorable to the prosecution, and you no longer enjoy any presumption of innocence. Furthermore, appeals in most states tend to be extremely tedious, technical procedures. If you do not follow all of the appropriate procedures perfectly, then your appeal is likely to be dismissed or rejected altogether by the appeals court. For this reason, if you truly wish to pursue an appeal, you should really consider consulting an attorney who specializes in traffic law and appeals in order to help you through the appeals process.
