What is the best way to beat a speeding ticket.

[drpimp304]

im sure you guys have gotten speeding tickets what are some suggestions to beat the tickets in court ?

[v6sicksspeed]

just show up to court.  the 2x i fought a ticket i went to court and the cop showed up.  before my ticket came up he called me out into the hallway and we discussed it.  one time it got thrown out completely and the other time i had to pay a $75 one-time, non moving violation (no points) for a "broken speedometer".  i believe his exact words were "go to that window, pay them $75 and you'll never hear about this again".

Not get a ticket in the first place. If you have a good driving record just tell them that your driving record is good, and you made a mistake.

Not speeding.

Go to driving school. I paid $40.00 for defensive driving school, spent 4 hours watching movies, left with nothing on my record and didn't have to pay the ticket either. That's what you can do in MS, so that option may not be available for you.

Comon sense has helped me not get a ticket yet. I'm 17 and haven't gotten a ticket or pulled over at all. I don't even use a radar detector lol. Just follow mike's advice and just don't get a ticket at all lol.

lol ok too late for that and i have a baddddd record and the officer who gave me the ticket knows...it was about 2 months ago and i just got the letter in the mail and the court day is for december 2nd which means he must have a lot of cases being he is a trooper... not getting a ticket is not an option now

[slipkord]

save your money and go to court. I really dont see any other option.

Sometimes that cant be helped. For instance my situation where I got a ticket for goin 4mph over. LOL! Dick.

And please dont tell me non of you angels have never gone that fast over the speed limit. LOL!!

Done and done. Now, if you told me this 10 years ago, maybe I wouldn't have the stupid tickets on my record that I have. Youthful stupidity and hundreds of dollars worth of tickets for the suck! Thankfully, I've been good lately. Or maybe I just haven't gotten caught. One of the two. :knocksonwood:

This is the type of shit that gets people killed man! I only hope you've slowed down a little. It's not worth your life or the lives of others to speed excessively. I’ve gotten my share of tickets to but, I feel that I’ve learned from them and moved on.
