Can I get out of this speeding ticket?

yourangell - have you actually ever paid a lawyer to fight it?

I’ve paid tickets and increased insurance rates…

tickets generally come to 75-150…

lawyers cost about the same if not less…

getting a lawyer to fight it will end up costing more than the ticket itself and/or what it might be reduced to tho…

Good luck.

The only way he can really get out of the ticket is if the cop doesn’t show up for the court date. It’s VERY hard to fight a speeding ticket, since most judges think that speeding is very irresponsible and they see these cases every day.

Why not just pay the ticket and save all the hassle?

Dont just pay the ticket… it will add a lot to your insurance…

Either go to court or find a lawyer who does this regularly (they charge between $70-100).

The cop who gave me a ticket still hasnt submitted her paperwork… that was nearly 6 months ago… according to the lawyer at 6 months they automatically dismiss the ticket… and a lot of times the cops dont even show up to court… so it really is worth it to fight it…

Ok so you have rights when an officer pulls you up for a speeding ticket. However, when it comes to court, it’s nearly impossible to prove whether this or that did or did not happen. It will come down to a case of “he said, she said” and who do you think the judge is going to believe? Yup, thats right, the cop.

Honestly your only chance is to fight the ticket and not plead guilty, and hope that the officer doesn’t appear in court. Although I am told, that in a LOT of places, cops get paid overtime for court.

I doubt it.

He wouldn’t have been stopped if there was no just cause. The only thing he might be able to prove is that he wasn’t going as fast as the officer claimed, but in the end, it will still result in a speeding ticket.
