should i dispute my speeding ticket? speeding, ticket, dispute

cinderelly

i was clocked driving 105kph at an 80kph zone =(
this is actually my first speeding ticket throughout my 7+ years of driving.
so i guess i do have a clean record
should i dispute my ticket and ask to have the fine ($196) reduced when i go to court?
what are my chances of getting away with this ticket and/or getting a fine reduction?

any suggestions are welcome~ thank you =D

I forgot toppy never fights... he just ran away from anything...

you can reduce the fine
you speed more than 80, and running 105
you really violate the law....that's speeding

you really have to pay it

I realize Cops are actively handing tickets at the end of the month end.  As purpleheart said, your cop most likely hasn't hit his quota, so he has to issue tickets even at the beginning of the month.  Poor girl.  Take it easy.

I would go for dispute.  As everyone said, take a chance that the cop will not show up.

AFAIK, cops gets paid 1.5 to go to court, and all the traffic dispute hearing are scheduled in a group for them so they most likely will appear. I know ancient times ago cops usually don't appear but AFAIK nowadays, that's simply not the case.

If you think wasting your day is worth fighting for maybe $50 worth of fine reduction, then go for it. Otherwise might as well pay it and forget about it so you won't get bugged by it anymore.

In this case you just plead guilty and talk nicely that you are student and
do not come up with the penalty , usually the judge will extend the due date
by 6-12 month, or reduce fine if you are willing to pay sooner.
Good luck, honest lady.
