Take this route if you want to try & avoid your parents finding out about it. Otherwise they will know once their insurance rates double!

i called up my cousin...he said he could dismiss it or something...but i seriously doubt it. i never said there was no advice in this thread....i just needed some help from the person who is a officer himself...you guys have been a great help in finding other options.thanks guys !
everyone gets speeding tickets i got one for going 85 in a 55 my ticket was for 278.. I went to court i got it down to 150 the person I had to talk to told me i was lucky and didnt get wreckless driving.
While i was waiting in line next to some dude with his girlfriend some lawyer she knew came out and they started talking about how he got a speeding ticket.. and he asked him if it was his first one so on.. so he was like i'll take care of it went into court and talked to them and he came back out and said its all taken care of and the dude left all this happened in 5 mins.

Well my first speeding ticket was 96 in a 65. My mother and I drove up to New Hampshire through Boston hitting Friday afternoon traffic making the trip total about 10 hours it was reduced to 90 in a 65 and I was able to plead through the mail. I was so close too. Exit 30 out of 32 on my way to Loon Mountain.
You've been given several options. I would tell your dad and try to get it off your record. No sense in lying to him about this and having it come back and bite you.

Might be a speed trap if you can manage to prove it. Then you can fight about it in court because speed traps aren't legal.
i got my first ticket in june for 16mph over. I went to court and just asked for mercy....she dropped it to 5 over the limit with no points, it pays to be extremely nice to the officer when pulled over. Maybe i was just lucky and got a really nice cop though......good luck

No one ever has to know, go down to the courts or whatever and say you want to do Defensive Driving classes, if they let you, go find a reputable one that will count towards it.
You can even do it online, it costs like $40, take the certificate back in, and you're done.
Saved $80 and no one ever finds out, except you and the county records.

father would be less pissed if he hears about it after the fact. Fess up and tell him youll pay.

You need advise from a lawyer here. Police have very little to do with tickets other then giving them. You need advise from a lawyer to get it dismissed. It is not up to the police officer in any way shape or form, but 100% the state/prosecutor.
Most tickets that are fought in court are dismissed. Police have a very important job to do with keeping the public safe. If you plea innocent and contest the ticket, the state has to call the police officer into court, most of the times on a different day. Most of the times the police officers wont even show up for something so trivial. If they don't show up, you can right off the bat ask the judge to dismiss as the state does not even have their star witness (the pig). Most state prosecutors will not even object to your motion to dismiss.
The first step is however on you. Don't go seeking the advise of a police officer. Get a lawyers help, or see if there are any lawyers here that would not mind telling you what to do for free
That depends where you live. Some police officers I know love it when people dispute tickets because they get overtime pay when they go to court. But if you have access to free legal advice (ATOT?) then by all means, use it.
That is a very small percentage of police officers out there. There are a few rotten tomato's out of the millions to prove the rule, and officers that show up for those are indeed rotten... though 'trying' to make a living.

On the other hand, there are plenty of asswipes who try to get out of speeding tickets they rightfully deserve by going to court (not a swipe at the OP).
Don't try and sweep this under the rug as far as your parents are concerned. Get all the info you need for deferred adjudication, then make arrangements to do that, so you can pay for the class, and have the points not go on your record. Once you have the fix in place, tell your parents about the mistake you made, as well as what you've done to correct it.
Your parents are human too, and I doubt they have lived their lives without ever making a mistake.
They will be more understanding, if you come clean with a solution, and will probably have more respect for you.

Or there are officers that are required to go to traffic court regardless. Bring on the trails bitches! I'm on the big clock!
If you talk to a good lawyer, don't bother telling your parents. There's a good chance it'll be thrown out. Note: I strongly advise that he does tell his parents.
I was in a similar situation. Was 19, got my first speeding ticket. Insurance probably would've shot through the roof. Was lucky enough to get it in a town that does not allow pleading it down to a non-moving violation, nor do they allow taking a driver's safety course to get it deferred. Judges are a bunch of hard-asses in the town too. Finally, 22 months later, it was dismissed.

The odds of bumping into one of those officers are about as likely as me catching my catching my ex-wife in bed with another man while in the act. You might as well count it as dismissed unless you made a memorable night.

How fast were you going? Take the class, i've taken a couple already. I need to take another one this one is going to be online & one more is coming up, I just mailed the ticket yesterday. It's a good idea to keep your record clean, so if you cant get it dismissed just tell the judge you want supervision/class.
your dad is going to murder you? are you 15?
you broke the law, man up and tell your parents. go to court, ask for defensive driving and let it be done. if you dont tell your parents, and you fail to get the ticket thrown out or withheld from your record you are total boned. better off acting like some mature and responsible enough to be driving a car and take responsibility for your actions. why is that no one wants to man up anymore. jeez!
