It could be as an indication that the cop actually had no idea WHAT the speed limit is in that area . In that case you might get off .
Another possibility may be that the judge would simply knock off 5 mph from the charge and find you guilty of exceeding the limit .
It would depend on how fast you were going too . If you were over by 5-10 mph , you might get off ................. if you were over by 40-50 mph , take your checkbook to court with you , you`ll need it !

So you were doing over the 65 limit anyway. I doubt if you will get off. Do take a lawyer with you to traffic court. My guess is that you will wind up with traffic school.
In my town, it works like this. You go to court and plead innocent. The judge will reschedule another court date and you will have to go back again, this time the cop that gave you the ticket will be there, then the judge hears both sides and then he decides.
I know when I last went, there were lawyers going around the crowd looking for business. It cost me 50 bucks to have the lawyer talk to the judge and have the ticket dismissed. It was worth it, not to have to go back to court again.
good luck.

Not usually, any more than a typographical error in an ad will give you a lower price.
They will correct it to 65, and unless you were clocked at 65 you will be found guilty of exceeding the limit. Only difference will be it may now be 15 over instead of 20 over, meaning less points.

You definitely will be able to get out of it, unless the magistrate is a jerk. Just fight it yourself. The biggest advice is to TAKE PICTURES. Take them from where the cop was sitting, the speed limit sign you passed before he clocked you, and from where you got pulled over. Do this to show the magistrate that in fact the speed limit was 65 and not 60. He might not just want to take your word fir it.

Hi:
You might try going back to the area, and try taking some photos of any speed limit signs you see. Have those ready when you go to court, and maybe they will help.

Not if you were going over 65

in many circumstances, maximum errors could properly be corrected via the officer in court docket. in spite of the shown fact that, subsequently, this is in simple terms about impossible for the officer to do. i could suspect that the only checklist he has of your velocity is what he wrote on the dashing cost ticket. In court docket, he could could guess at how briskly you have been going. A guess won't be familiar via the court docket as data. except he can produce another documentation of your velocity, the quotation could be pushed aside. 30mph? i thought you human beings used the metric device. . .

Nope - it is called a technicality -
