Speeding Ticket

[BrownSnowFlake]

Got pulled over in my personal vehicle this morning on the way to drive Saturday air. Issued a citation / summons for my alleged speeding. (71mph in a 55mph zone) Going to Integrad on June 3rd.

What do?

None of UPS's business until you are convicted in a court.

 

[Gooner]

Pay the ticket. You report it at the end of the year. As long as you still have a license should be good to go no big deal.

 

[barnyard]

Whenever you are pulled over, be polite as can be and add, "Is it possible that you could give me a warning?"

Show it to your instructors at Integrad.

It's worth extra points.

Slow down in the future and adjust your alarm clock.

What do?

Pay a lawyer like $100 to go to court for you and get it thrown out.

Even if UPS if fine with it, paying a ticket outright is an admission of guilt. So you get the ticket, the court costs and a big auto insurance rate hike in some states. At least try to get it knocked down.

My state, you can go to traffic school and get it expunged, once a year.

 

[I GOT ONE MORE]

Some locals have a 'legal services benefit'.

I got a ticket several years ago for crossing over a double yellow line. Turned it over to the lawyer, who got it dismissed, and I never had to go to court. Beautiful benefit.

What do?

Don't worry about it. Once a year every driver is asked to report if they had any tickets the year before. Just make sure you're honest on that and you'll be fine.


Also SLOW DOWN!!

71 in a 55? Cop must've been bored. Is that not at least the flow of traffic where you were?

 

[Misthios]

I don't know where in the country you are but Indiana does a deferment type thing where you pay it and it's like it never happened. Might be worth checking into if available.

 

[rod]

I've got a Vietnam Veteran bumper sticker and a Retired Teamster sticker on the back of my truck. The cops belong to the Teamster Union here. I could rob banks and not get stopped.

 

[clean hairy]

In my state, deferment means no more tickets for say 6 months, and it is dismissed.
Might have to pay court costs, though.

don't speed... username checks out

 

[BrownSnowFlake]

Follow-up for anybody who might find themselves in a similar situation:

Retained a lawyer to fight the ticket. He entered a “not guilty” plea on my behalf and the court scheduled a hearing for July 3rd.

The state trooper who wrote the ticket failed to appear and the charges were dismissed without prejudice.

 

[Gooner]

Every time I’ve taken a ticket to court the cop shows up! Congratulations.
