subject: How To Beat A Speeding Ticket And Avoid A Heavy Fine [print this page] You may have heard different tales regarding mistakes in which a speeding ticket was issued and that if there is a mistake on your ticket your charge is invalidated and you can ultimately beat the ticket. But that's where you may have been led wrong because unfortunately it's not that simple all the time.
It can be very frustrating to speed to work on a day that you are late only to get issued a speeding violation that takes even more time than following the speed limit would have. However, more often than not, you find yourself in a scenario where you receive a speeding ticket because as great of a driver as you think you are you still get caught speeding over the limit.
Few drivers like to accept terms which come along with a speeding ticket that they have been issued. It is good news for them to learn that there are a few ways to get out of the speeding ticket, without having to pay a fine. These methods are perfectly legal. They will save you money and you will not receive points on your license. Whether or not you are actually guilty of speeding may not matter. These tips can help you avoid getting a speeding ticket and if you are actually issued a ticket, the tips may help you to beat the speeding ticket in court.
Most people who have been pulled over encounter the same question- if you know the reason why you were stopped. By asking this, the policeman is attempting to get you to admit you were speeding and thus breaking the rules. Most motorists will probably fall for this type of trick and will immediately admit that they did something illegal. Such admittance gives the police the opportunity to write you a ticket which will probably be hard to defend in court. The best thing to do is to be careful with what you say; tell the officer that you do not know why you are being stopped. Try letting him do the talking; less talk equals less room to make a mistake. You may be fortunate and just get a warning in the end if you appear genuinely innocent about the scenario.
When you have been issued a ticket, you may be given an option to pay your ticket or appear in court. In this situation you should always go to court. When you go to court, the officer who issued the ticket must also appear in court. If the officer does not appear in court, your ticket will be dismissed. If you have paid your ticket through the mail you will not receive the opportunity to possibly have it dismissed.
An attorney specializing in traffic law could help you, if our tips do not work for you. This type of attorney knows all of the laws for your state and can tell you if you should fight your ticket, if they think that you would win in court, or if you should just pay the fine. This outcome could be very helpful with any speeding tickets that you may receive in the future.
