First speeding ticket jail????wtf?

Question

okay i got a speeding ticket for going more than 30(and technically i was going less than 30) back when i was 17. now when i go to court being 18 they just told me to state not guilty so i can go to trial because otherwise i may have jail time. jail time, you cant have jail time on a first offense especially if you are underage at the time of the incident help me!

Answer 1

Did you pay the fine?

Answer 2

You go to jail if you don't have money to pay the ticket.  It is like debtor's prison.

Answer 3

You /can/ have jail time if that is what the judge thinks. Stop trying to be higher then the law and follow the speed limits closer.

Answer 4

Go to jail it's cheaper plus it's fun, you get to feel like a criminal.

Answer 5

Thats completley true. Who told you to plea that? even if you go to trial you should not have to go to jail. ESPECIALLY if it is a first Offense in the US. At the most you should pay a fine or do community service. I would have a free consultation with a lawyer if you are worried. Goodluck.

Answer 6

30 miles over?Technically,yea you can.But you won't.

Stiff fine though.
