It can be very difficult to avoid a speeding ticket because you’re already angry when you see the siren behind you. So it’s natural to play defensive and argue your side to the officer, but that’s not the right way to handle it. The officer is trained to assume there will be a court date on this <a rel=”external nofollow” target=”_blank” href=”http://www.diverttickets.com/”>Traffic Ticket stop, so he/she immediately tries to build their case by asking questions like: Do you know why I pulled you over? Do you know how fast you were going? The answers to these questions will all be in their report and will be discussed if you end up taking them to court. Be very careful to not admit any guilt of the offense. Some people might say that you deserve the ticket if you were actually speeding, but who decides what "speeding" is? If you were going 36 mph in a 30 mph zone, if that speeding? Do you deserve a ticket? Of course not, most people go that same speed so it wouldn’t be fair. However, let’s assume these two different, but similar situations;
1) This police officer is having a great day because his son just announced his engagement! He pulls someone over for a routine traffic stop for speeding, 36 mph in a 30 mph zone. The driver was very polite, and the officer gave a quick verbal warning.
2) This police officer just found out some bad news. He pulls someone over for 36 mph in a 30 mph zone and tells the person why he pulled them over. Well, the person argues "Everyone goes that fast, why should I be the one to get a ticket". This person ends up getting a speeding ticket.
The situation above isn’t to demote police officers, it’s meant for people to realize that there’s too much discretion left up to the police officer on your traffic ticket based on their mood alone. I’m sure officers are trained to avoid situations like this but we all know that the situation above happens every day to someone. You just have to suck up to the officer and play nice guy to try and avoid the speeding ticket.
Sometimes people don’t think that a Speeding Ticket goes any further than the $50-$100 traffic ticket, but it does! Your insurance might go up, and it also increases your chances of getting a speeding ticket the next time you get pulled over.

Nice work, you did pretty good.

You don't really have a leg to stand on in court. You are required to be in control of your vehicle at all times. That means you are suppose to be able to react to sudden changes with the traffic. Following too closely simply means that you were following another vehicle at a distance that did not allow you to maintain control of yours. If you have an older car as you put it, then you should have given yourself even more stopping distance in the event that an incident occurred. Maybe if your polite, the policeman can change the violation so that you will only have to pay a fine, but no points.
CGIV76 is not correct under California law (he may be right in his jurisdiction, but you are not in his jurisdiction, you are in my jurisdiction). The Insurance Regulations in California permit insurance companies to consider non-confidential traffic school dismissals of traffic citations in rate settings, specifically in determining whether the driver qualifies for a "good driver" discount.
If you fight the ticket and win, it will not affect your rates. If you fight the ticket and lose, you may diminish your chances of getting a second traffic school (which chances are pretty low to begin with).
amazing! Willy teach me how to paint like you!
Very nice!!
All the excuses in the world does not change the fact that you were speeding. Pay your fine and learn from that mistake and don't do it again.
First of all. All those internet sites telling you how to beat speeding tickets usually don't work. The fact is, all officers are trained to use the radar, all radars are calibrated in accordance with the manufacturers specs and all officers have testified in court. It's not likely the officer who wrote you the ticket is a rookie and this is his first time around.
I can't speak for other officers, but I took all my training seriously, I use my equipment properly and I always write tickets to people who I am sure violated the law….As such, I have only lost one speeding ticket in court. And I'm not one to blame other people, but the prosecutor on that one was an idiot and didn't do his job. (The person argued that the speed limit was 55 when it was in fact 45 and had been 45 for 1.5 miles before I checked his speed. I brought the evidence to prove it was posted 45 up and down that road, but the prosecutor for whatever reason didn't introduce it)
From what I've heard though, California isn't too hard on first time speeders and you will likely be offered traffic court that will probably cost less than a speeding conviction and you won't get any points on your license.
Your best bet is to contact the courts and ask them these questions. They are the ones who will process your ticket and will know all the laws and regulation. You should also ask the courts if you are allowed to take a driving school class. This will prevent your insurance from going up and points from being placed on your license. Just make sure you get the courts permission before doing so. If you don’t the courts will reject your driving school certificate. Good luck!
woww that’s really relax and beatiful soung .good picture of jhony depp !
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D
Perfect.

how is this not a real photo?
For the local ticket, if your record is clean for the last 18 months, you will be eligible to go to traffic school, although you still have to pay in full for the ticket. As for the highway ticket, take it to court! If they don't show, you case could be dismissed and your record will remain clean!
If you're looking to save costs, you're out of luck. If you're looking to avoid additional costs, just pay the fine. And therein is the crux of your question. WHAT fine? Exactly what is the fine for doing 55 in a 66mph zone? Sure, the court can conclude that there is no such thing as a 66 mph zone, so it must mean something else, but that's not the basis of law. It's not a matter of what it SHOULD mean, but what it DOES say.
What you might do is simply call the Court Clerk office in that jurisdiction and ask them what is the fine for your particular ticket. Given the peculiarity of your ticket, they may dismiss it. I've had such dismissals happen twice in different states. (And in one case, I was right there willing to pay the fine, and they wouldn't accept it.)
hm i couldn’t tell the difference between photograph and painting comparing the final resault.
This is sick
