FAQ
Answer: To ask a judge to reduce a ticket, you should attend your court hearing punctually and present a polite and concise request, explaining any mitigating circumstances or evidence. It's also beneficial to demonstrate a clean driving record and express willingness to attend a traffic school if necessary.
I had a medical emergency. I was being tailgated unsafely and there was no place to pull over. The speed limit in that area was reduced. My vehicle had a mechanical failure (such as brakes on a downhill stretch or a defective speedometer) documented by a mechanic. I was not speeding.
Common Defenses Against Speeding Tickets Inaccurate Estimation of Speed by the Officer. Questioning the Officer's Vantage Point and Conditions During the Incident. Radar and Lidar Inaccuracies. Calibration and Maintenance Records of the Device. Operator Error or Improper Use of the Device. Driving to Avoid Harm or Danger.
Always plead not guilty. If you plead guilty you are asking for points/higher fines. Never do that. You will receive a summons to traffic court and your driving abstract will be reviewed.
Gather evidence. Your best chances to win the argument will be if you have physical proof you weren't speeding. Evidence could include dashcam video, GPS data from a smartphone app, or photographic evidence that a speed limit sign was obscured.
When you show up in court, be sincerely apologetic, explain that this is your first ticket and you understand that you should've been more attentive, and ask if they can reduce (to 14 over at most -- no points or reporting that way) or dismiss the ticket.
