Trying not to get my license suspended for too many moving violations within a 12 mth period. How do I plead? What would I ask the judge? What could I do to get out of tickets in the first place? (Please, everybody does not go the speed limit to a T.)

Its easy to get out of speeding tickets. Just do what I do. When you get pulled over, have your badge out to show the cop that you're an off duty officer. Of course it helps to actually be an officer.

Young people (largely young men) are traditionally singled out, not only for speeding but for unsafe driving habits. What the judge wants to know is that you will not drive dangerously in the future and endanger the lives of others in this way. If you have already been convicted of too many moving violations in the last 12 months, I would suggest that you try to impress upon the judge that you have learned your lesson and that you are a responsible, respectful upstanding citizen. Try to get character witnesses to come along and testify that you have changed your ways and that you are a much safer driver - and be a much safter driver.
To get out of ticket in the first place, I never request the arresting officer be present and I listen carefully to the charges. If a cop car is not properly calibrated, they might cite you for hazardous or reckless driving rather than speeding. Also be familiar with the terms used in other cases in the court. If your violation is running a red light and you were "already commited to the intersection" it sounds a lot different than "going too fast to stop" - see what I mean. Watch the other cases and see what works for them.
Peace!

Officers are trained to estimate speed as mentioned above. One thing that also plays a key role is the officers experience. If he is a seasoned veteran with hundred if not thousands of tickets under his belt then the court will be much more likely to take his word. Bottom line you were speeding. Rather than attempt to alleviate yourself of the responsibility of safe driving and finding a loophole, grow up, learn to drive behind big trucks and take the consequences

i had the same bad luck last year i got three speeding tickets within a four month period. this is what i did. there game is: If you are driving during busy hours and alot of people are out driving,the cops use the radar gun and supposedly they are pointed at your vehicle, they are not only picking up your speed they are picking up the speed of not only your vehicle but others around you or the cars that are passing on the other side of the road those guns are not a hundred percent. if a cop tells you that his meter was reading that you were driving over the speed limit when he pulled you over, that is because you were already in front of him and he had to speed up to catch up with you that is why he says that his meter reads that you were speeding. i hope this helps you. believe me it helped me. good luck

One tactic I saw employed in our court was the "repeat stall" . This is where they drag the case out for as long as possible to get past their losing the license for too many tickets in a given period. It may get you past the 12 months.
Now, if it works, try to chill out on your speeding brother, it ain't worth it! Unless I can see the baby's head starting to emerge from your pregnant wife, you are probably getting a ticket with a terrible driving record so slow down.

Smart drivers speed too... but they're smart enough to know where the cameras/cops are and when to slow down.
Anyway, if you can prove that you need your licence for your job, you might be able to keep your licence.
Keep in mind, your licence keeps your in a job, which pays taxes and those damn fines - and the last thing the govt needs is another bludger.

You are pretty much s.o.l. With an extensive negative driving history, I doubt the judge will be lenient. You might try slowing down a little.

Show up in court. A lot of times, the cop will not show up and the you are, therefore, off the hook.
