I am going to court in January for a speeding ticket I recieved. I got two tickets which is 4 points on my license just a little over a year and a half ago it will be 2 years in April. for speeding but with me going to be an EMT/Firefighter I cannot have two more points on my license or I will be fired. I am going to admit responsiblity but ask if instead take driver improvment class or something else instead of the points. When I go in will I be able to talk to the cop before court starts or the DA? What are my chances maybe of taking a defensive driving class instead? Do I need to talk to the cop about it before and have him suggest it??

This sounds like something you need to speak to a lawyer about. The last thing you want to do is handle it yourself, and mess up a career.

Talk to the DA and see if you can reach a plea agreement of some sort. Make sure you explain the situation. If that don't work explain to the judge in court and maybe there would be something he/she would be able and willing to do.

Whenever I got a speeding ticket I just went in and paid it and it was my responsibilty to take a driving class. I never went before a judge and let them trial me about speeding. What is there to have a trial over? They are caught you speeding so obviously you are guilty. Are you sure you just don't have to go pay for it and then be on your merry way? Anyways, good luck with that.

All of these are things you should have thought of before having such a LEAD FOOT.
As adults we have careers to protect. You had better start thinking that way.
Do not try to speak to the policeman, it will look like bribery or coercion. Four points will look like nothing then.

Call the DA,s office now before court..in court he is to busy to deal with you..Talk to her/him about a 2 for one deal..you plead guilty one one he drops the other...it worked for me.

please dear,dont try to get out of it because that would tick them off.get yourself a good attorney(if you cant afford 1 then try to get something like legal aid,where the gov.pays them to represent you)and see where you stand,dont try it yourself.next time after you get out of this scrape,ease off on that gas.i think in most states,if you dont get any more points,they are wiped clean every year or so.good luck in court.

You need an attorney...only they can answer your questions and maybe give you a guarantee of how it may go.
