    Default Need advice about a speeding ticket...

    Can anyone help, I need some advice about a speeding ticket I just got. Not worried about the fine but I would like to know how to possibly get out of getting the points.

    I can PM details if someone can help or can point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance!

    Update: Matter concluded...

    Got that taken care of already...lol

    I am looking for a little more specific advice. I understand this advice may not be "legal" advice nor would I take it as such. I am looking for some "friendly advice".

    This is one time you just go and kiss arse...be friendly not cocky and you should have the citation reduced to "without points".

    don't speed.

    easiest way to avoid speeding tickets, if you feel the speed limit is too low find a way to challenge it or go a different route. If the officer or judge is going to give you a break then at least give it a try.

    I used to speed, still do occasionally, but i found there it little need to, your late, everyone else does it, etc are all excuses on breaking the law. I do believe in keeping pace with traffic on highways though.

    Thanks everyone.

    Obviously I should not have been speeding. I have no intention of trying to justify it, I was wrong.

    This was my first ticket in over 10 years of driving. I'm not a habitual offender...lol

    Again, thank you everyone for the advice!

    Your speaking to the expert of speeding tickets. I once had a speeding ticket for 45mph over the speed limit got that reduced to 15mph over.


    How far over the limit were you? If its 5mph or under there are no points involved. If you were doing 10mph over the limit most of the time they will reduce in court to either 5mph over or 3111A its like a $106 fine and no points. Official term is not obeying a traffic control device. most of the time if its a busy court or you were caught in a speed trap they like to move you out quickly the officer will likely speak with you before court simple tell him your concerned about the points and most of the time they will give you a no points violation. Good luck and FYI i've had 20 tickets over the 11 years i've been driving and my points have never reached more than 8 11 is the limit in PA

    Just fight the ticket and tell the Magistrate that you would like to have the points taken off. Depending on how many recent tickets you have, how bad your speeding offense was, your attitude and how you present yourself; the Judge should let you off pretty light.
    I know a lil about a lot, but I don't know a lot about anything!
