Got a speeding ticket...advice?

[JERRY2KONE]

Although confusing all good advice. First thing is to slow down and understand that officers hear every excuse in the book all day long, so none of them really count no matter how relivant you may feel it is. Speeding is speeding period.

As stated previously dress neat, shave, and be totally respectful even if it does not work out to your benefit. Judges hate shabby dress in their court rooms as a point of disrespect.

Try to discus it with the officer if you can, asking for his mercy for the reasons mentioned(school, no job, no money) and let him know that you are going to be a more defensive driver from now on. If he ignores you move on and don't push it.

Then speak with the prosicutor if possible to plea down to a lower offense or maybe a warning if you are lucky noting it is to save time and give you a second chance.

No matter how it turns out at least you know you tried your best. Don't go in there expecting anything good to come of it, and feel lucky to get out of there with your license in tact and good health.

The bottom line is, slow down and stop getting tickets. It is a lesson that we have all had to learn over the years of growing up. Trying to use charm, good looks, or kissing a$$ just pisses the officers off, so stick to the facts. Your an idiot and you are working hard to change plain and simple.
