Just got a speeding ticket...
That's the crazy part is that I do have a radar detector and it never went off when he was supposively clocking me w/ the gun. Funny how I never went about 50 anytime on that road and got "clocked" doing 53. Like I said, I wasn't going to argue w/ the officer over a few mphs, but curious how I was clocked doing so much and why my radar detector never went off.
They often keep the radars off until the object is in sight, then BAM flip in on and nab ya. You said yours never went off at all?? Hmmm... Wonder how he claims he got his reading then. Good luck with the case.

Go in and ask for a "Differed ticket". What that does is put the ticket on hold for 2 years. If you complete the 3hr driver safety class and stay clean for the 2 years the ticket gets dropped. I did this for a neg ticket. I did the class and stayed clean for the 2yrs and now it never existed. Only problem is you can only do this once in a 5yr period. Something to look into!

I deferred a ticket in Lakewood, Pierce County. Only 6 months you gotta stay clean, but can only do it once every 7 years. Still gotta pay it of course, but doesn't go on your record and insurance company never finds out. IF you were to get another ticket in that 6 month window BOTH tickets go on your record. If you keep clean for the 6 months, it disappears regardless of what you do after, so for all intents and purposes your next one would basically be your first.
I've been lucky and thats the only one I got.... off base anyway.
I don't know anything about Judges being able to see it still or not, I'd guess they can if ppl are saying they can see tix that were dismissed as well. But really, that's a pretty average speeding ticket and don't think any judge in the future would hold it against you too much to begin with.
Basically, I recommend deferring it. IF you can hold back for 6 months. I was soooo worried I'd get another... drove like an old lady, again, off base. On base diff story(I'm AF).
Every county has it's own little rules concerning deferrals...
Save your deferral for something big...
Hire an attorney. It will cost you more than the ticket to do it, but it will be worth it in the long run.
I give a big thumbs up for Jag Matto. He's gotten me out of 3 in the last 2 years including a 2nd Deg Neg where I almost got arrested. He's a local car enthusiast and currently owns one of the nicest Porsche 996 TT's in the northwest.
I've had roughly 18 tickets over the last 9 years. I've played every angle, and tried every loophole. I had mixed success until I just started having Jag take care of things for me.
