Corey, WTF are you talking about? I've been to traffic court sooo many times, never hired a lawyer, and never had a ticket stick. That covers speeding, red lights, reckless driving, driving w/o license, and I'm sure I'm missing something here. Knowing the system is the key. It doesnt matter what the ticket is, follow these easy steps
Let me explain a little bit more... No you dont need a lawyer for small traffic fines. In your case Steve yes you would need one.

This is my point. You broke the fucking law; sure go to court to get it lowered, I can gaurantee that in this case of going 80 in 45 will not be dropped. What city is stupid enough to say oh you have your lawyer with you, this case is dismissed. The best that the judge will do will probably drop the ticket to 10mph over or give you driving school and or probabation.

If your going to break the law then pay your ticket or do your best to get it knocked down.

The only reasons I would even consider getting a lawyer would be, reckless driving, no license and more severe traffic tickets...

I mean come on its a misdameanor. Since your young and you do not want this ticket on your insurance, then I would try your best to work out a deal. Ask the judge what are your options dont be afraid to ask him any way I can keep this out of my insurance?

Sure you can see if the ticket is wrote wrong, drive back to the site you were pulled over and see if he posted it wrong. Sure it might make a difference... also in misdameanor traffic court a DA will not be present, it will be you, the judge, and the court typer lady.


but either way..

you broke the law, if your going to break the law driving and get caught beware of paying for your fucking stupidness.
