Four Ways to Dismiss Your Speeding ticket

Everyone gets them at one point or another, a speeding ticket. It is just an annoying thing to deal with and if you are like me, a ticket won't make you slow down. So just exactly how can you quickly and as a matter of fact dismiss your speeding ticket? Here are a few ways that seem to work.

Always challenge a ticket with the courts. It as a matter of fact is one of the easiest things a someone can do in our legal system. Do not pay the fine right away, because it shows you are admitting to the guilt. Even if you are guilty, many times there are special pleas for first-time offenders that will keep the violation off of your driving record. These options usually consist of a probation period. File a discovery petition or a social records ask with the court. This will allow you to learn about the legal process while you check the ticketing officer's notes, the calibration records for the radar guns and to make sure all the data was recorded correctly. If some of the data is incorrect, you can win by default and therefore dismiss the ticket. Take a defensive driving course. In most states, courts will give you this choice and it is a great way to keep the ticket off your record. Even though it takes some time, there are many courses out there designed to keep your concentration and alleviate the pains of sitting through a boring course.Just remember, the key to dismissing your speeding ticket is involving the courts but taking a good defensive driving course does not hurt either.

How to Fight a Speeding label

Especially in cases where you were driving much higher than the speed limit, the police officer will most likely show up in court. So for that reason, if you settle to fight your case, you need to be prepared.

Being prepared starts the moment you get pulled over. It is not wise to try to "talk your way" out of a marker by sheepishly admitting your guilt. If you say, "Jeez Officer, I know I was speeding, but I'm just so anxious to get home", then later in court, the officer will have it in his notes that you acknowledged that you were speeding. Instead, when the officer asks you if you know why you were pulled over, naturally be polite and say that you're not sure.

You should also never tell outlandish stories (i.e. "I need to get home, my dog is having puppies in the house and my wife is freaking out!") Officers have heard them all before, and telling an outrageous lie will not help you in court later either.

Before you even leave the scene of your ticket, be sure to make note of traffic and weather conditions. Also turn back and look colse to to the nearest speed limit sign. If it is at all obstructed, take a photo with your phone, if available, or go back later to do so. If you can't recognize what the speed limit is, then you can't be held accountable for breaking it.

While in court, learn how to word your comments carefully. If you say, "I was only going 65 mph in a 60 mph zone," that is an admission that you were speeding, and won't help you. If you say, "I was driving at an acceptable speed for the traffic and weather conditions," you are being truthful without admitting guilt.

You should also be willing to compromise. If the judge waives the marker in change for you attended a traffic school class, at least reconsider it.

It may also be worthwhile to hire a lawyer. From Florida to California to Washington, speeding marker lawyers can assist you in getting your tickets waived or dismissed. This is especially beneficial in cases where your traffic violation will cost you your license, or a lot of money in fines for the marker and traffic school. It will be significant also if you don't live in the state in which you got the ticket.

Whether you try to fight it yourself or with a lawyer's assistance, remember that just showing up in court will not be enough. You need to all the time have your defense prepared to protect your rights.
