Good work. They will send instruction in the mail, but it might be good to call the court anyways...the receptionists are usually friendly.
Contesting it by mail also delays your proceedings for weeks, if not months. When you start sending official documents, like discovery requests, make sure to send it registered mail or certified mail (it's an extra $3, but you will have proof for the court that your mail was sent and recieved).
We have a bridge replacement project going on. They erected a third temporary span between the two original bridges, and the process is that they tear down one bridge at a time and replace it, while diverting all the traffic onto the third, temporary bridge, which they then tear down. This is all neccessary, because the original bridges are circa the depression, and were built over a huge ravine with a river in the bottom, and are a single, VERY long span, with no pilings whatsoever. They're actually bowing. The new bridges are going to be 3 spans each and wider for future growth.
But anyway, the construction zone is TERRIBLY annoying. They installed the temporary so well (because it'll take so long to finish each bridge) that the temporary roadway and the pavement on the bridge is actually the same quality of a permanent highway here in MD. It's just as wide as normal, the only reason the speed limit drops to 45 from 65 is the general work zone safety, which is also relatively moot because the entire work zone is walled off with double-height jersey wall. Also, the manufacturer's recommended speed on the prefab bridge is 45mph. You can actually see the frustration as drivers slow down to as slow as they're comfortable (55ish) on the approach, only to be told that they're still speeding by the RADAR sign (not a camera, fortunately), and then they brake as they approach the sign trying to make it go ever lower. It's f'ing painful.

Really? That's good to know because nobody else has pointed this out yet. 😉 😛
You do realize no matter how guilty he is of speeding, the ticket can still be dismissed if the cop doesn't submit a written declaration or if they don't honor his discovery request, right?
For every ticket I've recieved that was dismissed, I was blatantly speeding. Hell I don't even go with the flow of traffic; sometimes I was the only car on the road when I was ticketed.
Sucks for you.
I bet you live in one of those gay states that are streamlined to take your money.
In Texas for example you can plead not guilty and have a trial by jury, however most states dont care about justice they only want your money so they dont let you have a trial much less a jury trial.
Also its not illegal to go over the speed limit in Texas.

lmao!
Yeah, fight it. At the very least you'll end up just paying it. With any luck, you could get points/fine/etc.. reduced. First ticket, story... Might fall on a judges ears who's feeling good that day.
Edit: the price you'll pay in insurance increases makes it worth at least trying
