Need input (or advice)on fighting a speeding ticket.

[Jaylllo]

I got a speeding ticket for going 54 in a 30 mile zone. This place is deserted (11:00pm).

I live on Long Island New York, and need input on how to deal with the ticket.

Has anyone successfully plead not guilty and succeeded? (I don;t mean on a technicality)

I'm looking at 2 points on my license and 90$.

I'm broke enough as a college student.

Thanks

Why bother? It is OK to speed when the place is deserted.

If you're so broke, just don't pay it. Warrants are free.

Plead not guilty due to temporary insanity. Works every time for me.

Now, if I could just figure out how to get this damn jacket off and use my x-ray eyes to melt the bars on the window so I can get out of here.

Brake the law - pay the fine. That'll teach you next time.

LOL, if you are guilty, just pay it. Taking it to court and losing might cost quite a bit more.

This fundamentally comes down to, what is acceptable speed. Anyone with experience doing this?

Feel free to poke more fun, I actually laughed at

Unless he truly meant "break"...

Pay the fine - Go to traffic school - Quit whining!

Just plead not guilty. They'll cut you a deal when you show up to court.

Worked for me. I was ticketed for 15 over (was really only doing 9). Showed up, pled not guilty, told the cop and "prosecutor" I was doing 9 not 15, they lowered it to 10 (the highest you can go without a higher fine and more points). Pled guilty paid my fine and went on my way.
