Without fail, the number one question posed to traffic ticket attorneys is “how do I get out of my speeding ticket?” There is no magic spell that will guarantee dismissal of your speeding ticket, but consider some of these tips:
1) Before you simply pay the fine, know the risks. Paying your ticket is an admission of guilt. Points may be assessed on your driver’s license and your insurance premiums will likely go up.
2) Generally, you have 30 days from the date you receive your ticket to contest it. You should plead “not guilty” and wait for your day in court. Be careful not to miss the deadline!
3) This should go without saying but make sure to show up to your court date. All too often we see people who miss their court date and wind up with a suspended driver’s license. If you must reschedule, you can file a motion for a continuance up to 5 business days before your hearing.
4) Consider hiring an experienced traffic ticket attorney to help you through this process. The Ticket Clinic has defended over 1 million traffic tickets and may be able to help you. Call us today at 1.800.CITATION.
