I got my first ever speeding ticked today. I was going 131 in a 100km's per hour zone. I quit smoking yesterday and all I think about is smoking. I don't usually speed and when I do, not nearly that much so does anyone think if I appeal it I can get the ticket revoked or even reduced if I tell them I quit smoking and that's why I was speeding?

LOL, yeah ok. That will work when pigs fly. Go ahead and do it, the Judge needs a good laugh.

No. Judges don't like it when people try to make excuses. The fact is that you were speeding so just pay the ticket. I know it won't be a cheap ticket but you could have gotten written up for wreck less driving too since you were going so fast so just be thankful that all you have to pay is a speeding ticket.

No. Quiting smoking is no reason or excuse for such behavior, and they will state that in court. If you were on your monthly, would you tell them PMS was the cause?

Nope, the judge doesn't give you a gold metal just because you stopped smoking for a day. Sorry.

Tell them because it shows your honesty, but it may not help much. See what smoking does and yet people say it doesn't hurt anyone??

You can make up any excuse you want, but you chose to speed. Face the music.

though it may be the reason for your speading, they'll see it as a lame excuse to get out of a ticket. i wouldn't bother.

No. They'll say that if you can't control youself then you shouldn't get behind the wheel of a car.
