You were not given a ticket for speeding, it was a ticket for driving too closely. Were you or weren't you? If you want your day in 'traffic court', then go for it. You don't have much to lose other than a couple of hours. However, do not get your hopes too high. You will probably be found guilty anyway.\n\nIn the future, be more careful around marked police cars.

stop the policeman giving you a ticket for speeding.\n\nI'm sure we will all find this useful.

For future reference, you need to find out how the officer knew how fast you were going.  If he got you on radar, ask to see the radar.  \nRemember that you have a right to face your accuser so that radar gun is your accuser, if it has been cleared then there is no evidence that you were truly going that fast.\n\nThis time I would go to court.  it might be nice to have some witmesses there, but you need to realize that most family member would lie to help out their son or grandson.\nBut there is a chance that the officer won't show up and in that case you again have a right to face your accuser, so most times the fine is droped or waived.  \n\nI would suggest dressing up for court, respect the Judge, he is the one who will deceide not the officer if the ticket will stand.\n\nGood luck

It's a valid ticket inasmuch as it's a real ticket.\n\nThe inaccuracy, if present on the officer's copy of the ticket (and, presumedly, your copy, too), does present inaccuracies in the officer's version of the events.\n\nIf he read his watch wrong, how can we be sure he didn't read the speedometer wrong?  Or the radar gun?  This is what can be called "reasonable doubt"; especially if you can *TRUTHFULLY* testify that you weren't going the speed the officer cited you for.  (Or, in *certain* circumstances, that the speed you were going--regardless of the posted limit--was safe because of traffic flow, weather conditions, etc....)\n\nIf you have a fair judge, you may "beat" the ticket.\n\nOn the other hand, it can take quite a bit of time to adequately make a defense against a traffic ticket.  You *may* be better off just attending traffic school if you can.  (Bear in mind, that in many US states, if you go to trial and lose, you will *not* have the option of Traffic school....)

Depending on what state you live in, a speeding ticket normally is one (1) point.    If you are driving in excess of perhaps 25-35 miles over the speed limit, the police officer can charge you with reckless driving instead of speeding, in which case that ticket would be a "2-pointer" and considered a MAJOR violation.    In California, you usually cannot go to traffic school for a MAJOR moving violation.    Anyone's driving record with two (2) or more points on it is considered a "non-good driver" and is not eligible for the good driver discounts available on most auto insurance policies.    Minor moving violations usually increase the premium on an auto policy anywhere from $60 to $80 dollars every 6-months, unless you ask the court if you can take the option of going to traffic school.    Minor moving violations stay on your record for three (3) years and should not be charged to you or your policy after that.   MAJOR moving violations stay on your record seven (7) years (as driving information history to prospective insurance carriers and the public) but can only be charged to you and your policy for up to three (3) years.\n\nP.S.  Accidents stay on your record for three (3) years, regardless of fault.  It is imperative that a police report be obtained for insurance company purposes to prove "at-fault" or "not-at-fault" liability when submitting claims to carriers.

It tends to be on technicalities.  Where there many vehicles moving with you and you were received a tickets?  Did this affect the radar gun effectiveness with your vehicle?  When the officer was pacing your vehicle, was his spedometer calibrated properly and in properly maintained?\n\nSo you see, there are many technicalities.  But if you are responsible, it is better to take a driving class if offered by the court to have the ticket dismissed.

no, I would only drive 85. In my city, the cops do not write tickets for less than 10 miles over the speed limit.

Just be honest.\nSome places it matters, some it doesn't.\nHopefully it's just "speeding" and not "reckless driving".\nDid you do jail time, or just pay a fine?\nDid it happen a long time ago?\n\nAgain, be honest.

Depends where u live.  In Australia the maximum penalty will be set in the Crimes Act for whatever state u live in if you're in NSW, Vic or SA.  Go to your state Govt website,  look up the crimes act under a PDF doc. then do a search for the words.  If you live in Qld, WA or Tas. it will be in a Criminal Code

the law is the law and if you get caught they will screw you for it.\n\nbut yes i agree on the motorway if it is clear then 100 is fine as long as your car is safe and the weatehr is good, the only person you can hurt then is yourself.\n\nI admit i often drive 50, 60 or even 70 on 40mph roads but i do make sure it is safe first and usually only late at night, 30mph areas are not really for speeding as there are usually a lot of people in these areas but i see no real harm in an additional 5 - 6 mph if everyone else is doing the same.\ntraffic police are only around at rush hour so stick to the limit then.\nSpeed cameras are then the main worry regarding geting caught and never speed through motorway roadworks as there is nearly always cameras.\n\n\nalso the temporary speed restrictions in motorway traffic are often ignored by other road users but i know many people getting caught out this way as this is one thing the police do loook out for.\n\ngenerally you have to judge yourself what is safe as sometimes there really is no safety issue in breaking the limit.\n\nstill as a new driver i would be VERY careful as there is a lot you still need to learn... passing your test is just the start.\n\nI remember having quite a few scary moments in the months after passing my test by thinking i was a better driver than i was so take it easy for now and allow plenty of time to get where your going.... dont be pressured into speeding by somebody behind you... if they hit your rear then its their insurance that pays out not yours and you really want to keep that no claims bonus.

"Paced" means he was behind you trying to go the same speed you were going. So if he matched your speed, he can look at his speedometer and see that you were going 40. You can also look at the violation you were charged with. Sometimes the violation cited is not for being over the posted speed limit, it is for unsafe speed, which less dependant on your exact speed. As far as contesting the ticket, if you have the time and do some fact gathering, maybe you can convince a judge that you were not in violation. If you go to court, it isn't going to be any worse, but you could get off with traffic school or something.

If you are going more than 10% higher than the speed limit ie 67 in a 60 zone or 56 in a 50 zone then you can get points and a fine.\n\nI got points and a fine for 34 in a 30 zone. \n\nIt can take up to a month for the fine etc to come through - there is no time limit on it.
