Option two... Plead no contest. Take a drivers-ed class. Probation is 12 months with the same deal as deferred. The most you save in doing drivers ed is $30.
So i choose defrred and save myself 9 months of bullshyt. Don't believe the hype. Radars work!!!!

Thanks for the TX info... I have a radar detector, but he was using LIDAR, and right when it went off I slammed on the brakes... And I just saw him put the LIDAR gun away and he just got on the bike, waited for me, I even acknowledged him and pointed to the parking lot right after the intersection...

I'm wondering if it is possible to win the ticket by saying, I was in the far right lane going 35-40 which is a speed that the officer indicated was a safe speed to travel and there was a parked FedEx truck with flashers on blocking the right lane (No parking is allowed on that lane at that time of day), and no one was letting me in, (the officer even said, "I know no one was probably letting you in, but 57 is just a bit too fast[I wouldn't include this part in the argument]") and at that moment I was too close to hitting the truck to hit the brakes and I decided to accelerate because I saw and opening because someone ahead of me was letting me in...

Any lawyers out there that think this can win on trial by written declaration???

Who wants to PayPal the broke student to help pay for his ticket?!?!?! Lol
But expect a few items to go on sale... Berk HFC's to go first...

it's not your fault brutha... Gang-bangers shooting innocents in drive-by's and this a-hole is out there with a radar gun collecting the county corporate tax... It's not done for safety brutha. It's profits... So how much???

You need to get a radar my Z compadre.

Oh yeah, my car is blue... And moronically loud, especially when you punch it to merge over to get into a small gap before you nail a FedSex truck

There are some weird loop holes out there regarding speed traps/speed surveys that can likely get you out of the ticket even though you were 100% at fault. Do some googling, my buddy used to use this basic outline from a motorcycle forum he found and it worked wonders. He's literally gotten out of 3 speeding tickets and they were much further above the speed limit.

Yeah, there is some random loophole that says you can momentarily speed up to change lanes... Which I did... Although I punched it

No, it's not that at all. It has to do with road surveys being out dated. It's really strange. Trying googling for it, it'll be worth your time.

Yep, I got that down too, Hermosa Beach doesn't have it online, so I have to go to their city hall and request it from them, which is A-OK by me if it saves me $$$

I beat a speeding ticket last March. The ticket said I was traveling 55 mph in a 35 mph zone on PCH in Signal Hill.

You should fight it.

Only dumbA$$z pay tickets.

+1 I've said it before and I'll say it again: If we make it economically unfeasible for them to make money off of traffic citations then they will stop. The only reason they keep lowering speed limits and raising ticket fines is because MOST people WILL NEVER FIGHT the ticket. If everyone would just go to court for their ticket and they needed a judge to preside over them all the state will go BROKE (more so).

Do everyone a favor and fight your ticket!

I'll consider fighting it. If I need to burn a vacation day to do so, then it's not happening. Sorry, but I'm not going to sacrifice that kind of money for a $93 ticket.

What did you use to fight it? Trial by written declaration? An was the guy a traffic cop? Or just a cop that noticed, wow, that guy is going fast

MightyBobo · 09-14-2012, 10:11 AM

If you cant pay to play, don't speed. Or mod, for that matter.

dP3NGU1N · 09-14-2012, 11:56 AM

If you want to beat this: Help! I Got a Ticket!

I'm betting you got pulled over for CVC22350 (it should be on your ticket). The website will tell you step-by-step how to beat it.

If you decide to fight a ticket using a lawyer, be prepared to shell out tons of $$. Lawyers are expensive.
