Is Contesting Speeding Tickets a Fools Game

To some, contesting speeding tickets may seem like a fool’s game: “What’s the point,” they may say, “It’s just a little speeding ticket.” Or “What’s the matter can’t pay it?” All these may seem like effective taunts ready to drive the otherwise inclined into submission, compliance, and the line at the post office to make sure their ticket gets the correct post date.

But no! I’ll tell you this is wrong. These are not reasons well enough to pay a ticket you don’t deserve. In fact, you should never be driven into submission, forced into a thing you don’t agree with and are not liable for.

Write a letter. A preemptive move I’ve learned by years and years of getting tickets. Have someone help you organize your thoughts into a terse, fact filled wonderland of a letter where you give your version of events. This is a chance to avoid the last leg of contesting a speeding ticket
Go to court. While it’s not glamorous, these are your rights we’re talking about here. And if you’ve been wronged, you need to be righted. You’ll get a case number, a court date, and you can get all gussied up and go in and plead your case.
