FAQ
What To Say in Traffic Court First things first. Speak respectfully. Use full sentences to speak. Speak only when asked to speak. Answer the question and only the question. Detail what happened and why your situation is an exception. Consider how you explain why you aren't guilty before you go in there.
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.
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.
Yes you should plead not guilty and consult with an attorney to discuss your options. At the very least, it might be possible to have the speed lowered to limit or eliminate any points.

When in court, it's best to plead not guilty. Even if you may have broken the law, pleading not guilty means that it can't be proven you committed the act in question. You can also hire an attorney, but most tickets you can defend on your own if you are prepared and have the proper information.
How Should You Plead at a Traffic Court Arraignment? Admit the violation. If you admit a traffic violation in court, you normally tell the judge you want to plead guilty to the violation. Plead no contest. Choose traffic school. Plead not guilty.
At a pretrial hearing, you will have a chance to discuss options and you will have the choice to share your defense information in the hopes of getting a better option. You also have the right to have a trial, and you don't have to disclose your evidence and witness list ahead of time, as a defendant.
