Did you do Trial by Declaration? Win/Lose? Reason?

Trial De Novo? Win/Lose? Reason?

Regular Trial (Skipping Trial by Dec.)? Win/Lose? Reason?

What were your arguments?

"The officer was an incredible prick, Your Honor."

Seriously, the easiest/best way to deal with it is to just try to do online traffic school so you don't ding your insurance rates.

This assumes you haven't had other recent offenses, of course.

Good luck, dude.

Maybe a 50/50 chance the officer even show up. Be there and plead a reasonable argument and you might win.

next time try 50 mph over limit. They wouldn't be able to catch you.
There are many motorcycles do that. Traffic cops usually give up.

I'm not very strong, but I think I could beat a parking ticket in a fight.

At least if I didn't get a paper cut from it...then I'm not so sure. Crying

There are books, Beat That Ticket.

Why would we want you to win? What reason do you have to put us in jeopardy?
