I was on a "highway" today and received a speeding ticket. I was unaware that this was not the same limit as a highway and was going with the flow of traffic. I was doing 75 in a 55 and received a $200 ticket. I would like to appeal the ticket but am wondering just what to say. Any suggestions?

The judge will ask you something along the lines of: "How do you plead to the sole charge of speeding?"
If you want to appeal then say Not Guilty.
A court date will be set and the officer will be subpoenaed.
Come back in a month and state your case. The officer will probably testify to the speed limit in the area you were clocked and the fact there are speed limit signs out there.

OK, I'm going to tell you how to get out of your ticket, if you pick my answer!!!!! I am an expert!!!!! First, you must never "cop out". That means snitch on yourself. Remember, you are your own best freind, right??? No judge wants to hear that "everyone else was doing it too". You must show up for court, deny everything. you are innocent!!! Explain that there were so many speeders going past you that the officer mistakenly pointed his equiptment at someone elses' car and pulled you over. Say you don't doubt the effectiveness of the speedgun, just the accuracy of the officer using it, getting my drift???? You'lle get out of it. Then, there is the large chance that this officer has been so busy giving out so many tickets, that he does not have enough time to show up for everybodys' court date. If he is not present, it has to be thrown out, dismissed, kaput, blasted. Then you get to walk out without paying a cent. Great, HUH????????

Start at the source, the cop. Carry your expired registration, when the cop tells you it is expired act very stressed and ask him if he will just give you a ticket for the registration. After wards submit your current registration in court, and tell the judge you had it all along, it was under a lot of paper in your glove box. Works 50% of the time.

fat chance to beating it, you should just accept it, you accept responsibility for it. Yeah it may suck, but you can get deferred adjudication or take defensive driving to nulify it, but that only works one time in every 3-5 yrs

read the rules in your state and then go to court and plead the regulation as noted.
if you give it a good and logical argument you may win.
