Instead of saying get a lawyer, then please explain yourself. It was an 86 dollar ticket! Who gets a lawyer for that? I can see if it was to get the points off, but sometimes when you go in and say I was at fault and I am sorry, they don't give you the points, just the fine and what not.

very tru...to me the risk is much higher of trying to defend yourself, not to mention the time off from work to go into court, to wait in the court room for your docket, in hopes of saving points. A competent lawyer should get this totally dismissed, and at the bare bare minimum if he cant do that, receive no points, no school, no fine, but small court costs assessed. You can find traffic lawyers who do this daily who would charge $75-140 with ease and you can never have to worry about the ticket again. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

basically what you just said there is that it will cost almost as much to get the ticket dissmissed, lol!

Are there points involved? If so, get a lawyer. The cost of your insurance increase for the next 39 months will FAR outweigh the cost of hiring said lawyer.

I did this except the car beside me was an undercover charger.....I was lucky and only got a 20 over speeding ticket which I did not argue about

hahahaha how the hell do you end up doing that?

i'd rather pay twice what a ticket costs to never have to see it again.

Why? You go to court, pay the cost and it is gone. Only thing you will see is the insurance rate or or points may be on your record. If not, I would rather pay the 86 bucks and say viola.

Pay it and just learn your lesson.

Next time either don't go so fast in a 35 or if you see the cops...try to outrun them.

If your going to fight a ticket, make it a ticket worth fighting.

I dont want anything on my record, no matter how minor it is. And i definitely dont want to see it possibly effecting my premium.
