Replying to: his01 (Apr 11, 2005 1:00 pm) Once I had got a 4 pointer (52 in a 35) and my lawyer, who did not come cheap, had it knocked down to a 0 pointer (faulty equipment). If you need help with finding a lawyer, try the national motorists organization website. They also have a few good resources regarding fighting tickets. Or, just look up traffic attorneys in the yellow pages. Finally, fix that defective headlamp. You do not want to draw attention by having faulty equipment. |

Replying to: newbie05 (Apr 13, 2005 10:11 pm) Its tough to tell what they might do or charge. You might catch the prosecutor in a good mood and get it knocked down to careless driving, which, if i remember correctly, cost a bit under $100. Then again, that was a few years ago, so who knows now? If you get it knocked down to 2 points, I would think chances are you'll still pay less than $204, even after court fees, etc. BUT, maybe they'll want to hit you with a 2-pointer AND a no-pointer/high-fine ticket for good measure. You just never know. |

I got a 2 point speeding ticket and I pleaded not guilty and appeared in court and made a deal with prosecutor to reduce my 2 points. This was my first traffic offense. But if I had not appeared in court would the first two points still affected my insurance premium?

I recently had a 4pt ticket for doing 83 in a 65 on route 55. I went to court and was able plead out to zero points (unsafe driving) BUT $200 for unsafe driving +250 surcharge as of July 2004 + 33 dollars for court costs 483 dollars to plead to zero points. Wow did that hit me in the pocket!! I had read someone that said they couldn't get it reduced to zero. just evidence that I did.
