I just got a speeding ticket. What are my options/chances?

Question

I am 20 years old, and a little over a month ago, got my first speeding ticket (77 in a 60) on my way to work. It was my first citation and I have a high GPA so my insurance said my rates wouldn't go up. Therefore, I paid the fine, and planned on not speeding. Unfortunately, I got pulled over again (51 in a 35, although I'm positive I wasn't going that fast). As I'm a student and trying to build credit, I was hoping to keep my rates down. What would be a good option to pursue to keep my insurance rates down? I was told by a friend to enter a not guilty plea and hope for a plea bargain; however, he's never done that, so I don't know how it would work, and I also don't have much of a case if it actually goes to court.

Note: I know that I shouldn't have been speeding. I'm just asking for options.

Answer 1

You may not be able to avoid a rate increase this time. I if you are going to plea - plea no low ( not guilty not innocent) if you plea not guilty and the cop shows to court you are going to be in worse shape. I'm surprised you didn't get a reckless driving for being that much over. I did the no low plea once and ended up just getting a heavy fine. You are treading on thin ice. You really need to slow down.

Answer 2

i'm a student too and half a year ago I got a ticket for driving without a licence (only permit). They sent me to a court about 10 miles away from campus, and the person you see before going to court (don't know whats called) asked me if a was a student and after i said yes he just revoked my ticket and said your good to go...i was surprised but dunno maybe it works for you...it also depends on which state your from.

Answer 3

if the cop that pulled you over wasnt wearing a full unirform the ticket is void.
