Many jurisdictions have traffic diversion programs, you pay the fine plus a diversion fee, and it doesn't go on your driving record unless you get another ticket within a set period of time.

It used to be if you just showed up in court they would cut you somewhat of a break, from my experience's that doesn't happen much anymore. The whole speeding ticket racket is just that, a racket, so little to do with safety and all to do with collecting money. If the point's are more important to you than money, play the game, hire a lawyer. If you're an argumentative type of person do your homework and fight the case in court yourself. There are plenty of websites that can give you idea's on what you need to do. An internet search should take you to a lot of site's offering helpful info. Try www.speedtrap.org.

You could fight it. In Pa, I have heard there is a 50-50 chance that (f it is a local police officer who gave you a ticket) he will even show up to court. Then you would automatically win. State troopers, however, always show up. If you are guilty, though, you should just pay it, take any other consequences associated and move on.

You should plead not guilty and go to court. Basically, you will be given a plea bargain which will reduce your penalty and fine, rather than just mailing in the ticket and pleading guilty, which you will be paying the full penalty. Also you may be able to take a class, which will take like 2 points off of your liscense.

You can ask that the ticket be deffered on the conditon that you don't recieve any citations within the next 30 days and agree to pay the court costs. I did that to keep my CDL clean and it worked.

Do not speed is the best way. There are programs in some states to get points back, contact your local DMV and ask them this question.

usually an insurance company will adjust traffic records every three years for rates etc. pay the fine and be 21 since you got caught.
