If you were going 15 over the limit why are you blaming the cops? If you speed and get caught whose fault is that? And now you want to get out of it? If you can't do the time don't do the crime. You can try to fight it, but is it worth your time and effort? Pay the fine, take driving school, and take it as a lesson.

Either pay it and go to traffic school, or go to court and hope the cop doesn't show up. Those are your options. Don't be pissed about it, just drive safely.

if the cop put 350 instead of 250 then you might have a case..

take it as a lesson and learn. after getting 2 tickets within a years time I learned to slow down and follow the speed limit. havent had a ticket in over a year *knock on wood*

Get a traffic ticket lawyer and your done.

I have to agree with VikDaddy; from what I've observed, local lawyers who handle many traffic cases in the specific court where yours is being heard seem to have a much better success rate getting a ticket dismissed on a technicality than an unrepresented defendant making the same arguments would.

If you don't want to hire a lawyer, it is not uncommon for prosecutors to amend the charges on a minor speeding case if you talk to them before the trial. Usually you'll agree to plead guilty to a lesser charge that carries a substantial fine, but no points against your license, and no impact on your insurance rates.

Ive had 3 tickets for speeding. I usually sign the ticket go to court and the judge asked me if i had any violation in the last year. I answered no and was put on probation for 90 days. Didnt mess up in those 90 days so nothing went on my record. Buddy of mine in the army is a cop in civilian world and he told me its a complete waste to get a lawyer.

Go to the court. Usually judges reduce the penalty if you show up. But in your case not sure how far is it going to be from your home.

Anyway, slow down and don't get ticket. Do not speed more than 10miles over posted limit and you will be fine. Good luck...

exactly, pay to play my freind. if you want to speed and put other peoples lives in danger then man up and face the consequences, how is this in anyway the cops fault?
and as Evitzee says, pay the fine and take traffic school. Be a man and take your punishment without whining about it!

That no longer works in the state of california, in fact as along as the plate, vin and CDL match up it does not matter.

man thier are too many myths about traffic laws, If you really want to know about CAL. traffic laws; go buy a Cal veh. Code book and know the law, that way you really know where the real loop holes are.

How expensive is a traffic ticket lawyer?? Is it less than the ticket ($~200?). In my experience any time you touch a lawyer it costs you more money.
