Speeding ticket help

I'm not sure, but maybe they might send you to a court in colorado?

why would you have to appear in court dude? just pay your ticket, both times i have gotten tickets, i paid my fine and that was it. and as to your question about location, it would be a courthouse in the county you were caught.

yes. but you can ask for a court date at a specific time when you're going to be back in town. plus it usually takes a few months for them to give you a court date.

But, you don't want to plead not guilty, here's why.

if you plead not-guilty, you go to court and you plead your case explaining how you DIDNT DO whatever is on the ticket. the judge decides if you DID IT, or NOT. if you did it, you pay the full ticket.

YOU DID go 51 in a 30, so the judge will say you're guilty, and you'll have to pay the ticket.

what you want to do is mitigation, which is basically pleading your case as to WHY you did it (ie: thought it was a 40 zone...also bringing up the fact that you have a clean record is good), and then they drop the ticket price, usually at least in half.

you can do mitigation through the mail, and dont have to appear in court for it.

your other option is a deferral. dont do it. save it for when you ARE caught drinking and driving (god forbid you do that, or if it were to ever happen)...its always good to save your deferrals for things more serious than speeding tickets.

good luck!

Why the shit would you plead not guilty? Pay the fine.

Not bull shit actually. Every speeding situation i've been in (with others or myself) has been the copping pulling me/us over from passing us on the road.

also, the police car was moving the whole time. i dont know how fast i was going, but i fucked up by saying i didnt realize i was going that fast

yeah....did the cop use a radar gun?


i mean, i think cops have to be stopped to radar you.

although, regardless, you can get nailed for speeding without them clocking you too.

oh, and dude, you cant say "well i thought it was a 40"


i tried doing that in court once...they just say "well 51 in a 40 is speeding too"

I got pulled over for going 80 in a 65, and guess how fast i was going? 80. They can clock you while moving.

ye it says that radar was used. i just read that ut can be used while moving, but its not accurate. 30% of the time it gives a false ticket

they can definitely clock you going the other way, last summer i drove my old car (2001 Audi A4 1.8T quattro 5 speed) From my current home in WA outside of Seattle, back home to Minnesota and I drove through Montana going well over 100 for a while, got into Wyoming and was going between 80 and 90 for a stretch, speed limit was 70 and i got clocked going 87 in a 70. The trooper was going West on I-90 and I was going East, he slammed on his brakes and drove through the huge grass median and pulled me over.

Here's a picture right after the cop left me on the side of the highway

yeah, i got an 87 in a 70 too, ritzville, WA

heres how they clock you going the other way:

speed on radar gun-speed of cop car=your speed
