Speeding Tickets:Tips and Strategies?, I just got one help Options

[coustoe]

Well I didn't realize it but, I was speeding 65 mph in a 50 on the highway, how can the speed limit be 50 mph on a highway? Anyways, is there a way to pay the ticket but not get it on your record (for car insurance puposes). I'm trying to figure out some pleading strategies that will work when I see the Judge next month. I already got one, I almost got in an accident with a big rig after it swerved into my lane to make it onto the off ramp, so I was shaken up (think thats good enough to get the ticket knocked down a bit).

Advice please.

you know that the cop only shows if you request it when you mail the ticket in, if you dont then they dont have to show up. and dont lie like that, even if its true the judge will see though it. you need to say that you dont think you where going that fast, say that "I surtonly dont doubt the officer read the metter right however I'm very surton I was not going that fast, then bring up some facts about the road conditions and stuff like it it was wet or a dark road or a a buasy road, and what not to show that you remember the incedent clearly, and that you where not in a position where speeding was an option, high traffic is the best, plus mention that its posible the reading was of a differant car or was altered by distance or whatever. (never say the officer was rong or that he was at faut, always accept that the officer at least though he got a right reading saying he was in the rong will only get you in more turbble unless you can back up that he was, say if he was hidding or something, then back it up by a good description of the situation.)

remember the more prepared you are the better you look to be inocent, it shows that you did your homework witch means you belive yourself to be truly inocent witch is what really matters.

tip: do you best to offer all posible resons why you could have been speeding and dis prove all of them,

for example when i whent in for my no headlights in hours of nghtime ticket i said that the officer could have felt that wile it was past sunrise (legaly I was in the clear) that the weither could have affected the light, so I brought in the seattle times newspaper to show that it was a clear sunny day. witch was my winning argument I think.
