Tips for Negotiating a Speeding Ticket in Court

What Should I Do? What Should I Say?

First of all, slow this thing down! The United States alone has enough accidents, collisions and unsafe drivers that plague our streets. I’ll bet auto insurance agencies such as State Farm, Allstate, Geico, so on and so forth collect billions or pay billions because of all the trouble we cause.

One of the first ideas begins at the scene

Remain calm and polite when the observing officer approaches you. Depending upon the extremities of your speed he may give you a break.

If he questions your speed don’t begin by making long-winded excuses about how you couldn’t find a bathroom, how your right foot is num, or about just getting your license. For starters, its no point. You were wrong. Number 2, if you babble on and make excuses you’ll probably upset him even more.

Don’t challenge the officer;

“I’ll see you in court!!!”

“You’ll hear from my lawyer, buddy!”

“My dad will have your a**!!”

“Do you know who I am?”

* None of these will do you any good. *

Taking it from the street to the courtroom.

The courtroom can be a scary place. They always call your case when you least expect it. Usually when they call it you were too busy zoning off and feel a little out of place when they begin to question your antics. Try keeping your cool. Even if you feel that the ticket wasn’t you’re fault or not, it’s best not to challenge the court officials.
They have small rooms for those who have trouble following rules. Now really, who wants to sit in jail because of a speeding ticket? In many cases you must come to grip, you are guilty, deal with it.

One of the very first questions court officials will ask you is how do you plead. You have two choices; guilty or not guilty. When a person pleads guilty that means he/she is admits to disobeying a law. If a person pleads not guilty that means he/she is not admitting to disobeying a law.
