Quick Speeding Ticket Question
Quick Speeding Ticket Question I got a speeding ticket for 52 in a 40. Only problem is there is not 40 mph speed limit sign, only a 45 mph sign that I passed about a mile from where I got pulled over. Question is, if I go to fight this, and win, does it completely void the ticket, or will they still bang me for 52 in a 45?
Honestly, I dont know, when I saw the cop, I was doing 44-45, but he said he nailed me coming down the hill, which I could have been but I wasnt paying attention. I dont know if the a-hole was just trying to meet a quota since he didnt know the speed limit in the first place or what. He refused to show me his radar reading, which i know in some states they dont have to, not sure about here
Get a lawyer and fight it. 95% chance the cop wont even show up for the court date and it will get dismissed. I got a failure to control speed back in june from an accident for work, got a lawyer for $150 and it got dismissed bc the cop never showed up. It was a bogus ticket and I wasnt gonna let it get put on my CDL.

I never have had a lawyer, and never will use one. When I was living in Cali, I was written about 14 tickets from age 16 to 21. I went and fought all but one. 10 out of the 13 tickets I fought, the cop never showed. However out here in this one horse town I dont know if the cops have anything better to do. I've only received one speeding ticket in the 3 years Ive been here

Thats the other thing.... small town. It may just be worth it to go ahead and request defensive driving. I think that #1 the cop WILL show up to the court date and #2 a little town is going to get its money regardless. Might as well make it painless and not go on your record.
My next question is, In California, if you chose to fight it, you gave up your right to attend a defensive driving course if you lost the case. Is it the same for out here?
