how do you ask a district attorney to reduce a speeding ticket?

Answer 1

In most places, the district attorney has nothing to do with traffic infractions.

Rather, you will appear before the court to address your citation. You represent your side and the police officer who issued the citation will represent the side of the state. The officer essentially fills the role of the prosecutor by presenting his side of the case. You then present your side of the case.

If your are looking to reduce your citation, you will have to plead your case to the judge directly.

Good luck!

Answer 2

i did this one time, the only speeding ticket i had, and it was 52 in a 35 i think (its been awhile). i went to the DA's office early in the morning before 9, and asked him if it could be lowered because i had never had a speeding ticket before, and he reduced it so that it wasnt more then 15 over and it was only 100$ and it didnt go on my insurance. you can also go talk to the DA before court in the court room.

Answer 3

You will typically have an opportunity to speak with a deputy district attorney before you make an appearance in front of a judge.

They will review your driving history and the circumstances surrounding your incident.

They will then offer you a deal, it is up to you whether you accept it.

Answer 4

What are you going to reduce it to?? It's already a low misdemeanor charge. The DA can not change the ticket to reflect a lower speed, all he can do is recommend, to the judge, to dismiss the citation or impose a lesser or suspended fine.

DAs normally don't handle speeding tickets or other minor matters like that
