If you plead "nolo contendere" (no contest) you stated that while you do not wish to plead guilty you agree that the prosecutor has sufficient evidence that the court would find you guilty. This is considered the same as pleading guilty as far as the conviction is concerned.
If you might face a civil case related to your alleged crime, a no-contest plea can help you avoid giving the plaintiff a powerful piece of evidence. On the other hand, a guilty plea might get you a better deal from the prosecution, but it's essential to weigh the potential for a civil lawsuit.
No contest is the same as a guilty plea, period. It just can't be used against you in civil case.
To get a speeding ticket dismissed in Michigan, ticket recipients may contest the ticket in court. If the recipient can present enough evidence to convince the judge of the recipient's innocence or an error in the ticketing process, the judge may dismiss the case.
``No contest'' means you are not admitting guilt, but are accepting there is sufficient evidence to convict you. ``Guilty'' means you are admitting guilt. Either way, the court will sentence you for the crime.

Common Excuses for Speeding “I Didn't Realize I Was Speeding” ... “I Was Just Keeping Up with Traffic” ... “I'm Late for an Important Appointment” ... “The Road Was Empty, So I Thought It Was Okay” ... “I Didn't See the Speed Limit Sign” ... “I Was Just Trying to Pass Someone Quickly”
Start Cruising. The easiest way to avoid speeding is to use your cruise control. Most modern cars come equipped with cruise control, which lets you set a specific speed for driving. Your car will take care of maintaining and regulating your speed so you can focus on potential hazards on the road.
