Extend it as long as you can and then file a trial by declaration and hope he has forgotten most of the details, and decides not to write back

dont mean to thread jack here, but i got pulled friday night on the 14 fwy going to mammoth. The officer was going in the other direction at whatever speed she was doing and turned to pull me over. I assume no radar and didnt ask to see one. She wrote approximate speed 90+ as my speed. Any advice??

i got a ticket @ 80 recently, so i doubt you can get away with 90 but definitely do traffic school, so at least insurance won't go up...
oh yeah...you can request for extentions...and they usually forget about the incident after awhile.

I'm not sure there's a 'valid' excuse for speeding. The only ones are emergencies - i.e., going to the hospital ER. Short of that, I don't think there's legally approved reason for speeding. Sorry amiga, looks like you might have to eat this one, unless you want to play the extension game.

really depends on the situation and how you handled things while you were getting the ticket. admitting it and receiving a ticket would just lead to extension on a court date, then go to court and hoping for the best and a lesser amount and if the judge is nice about things, I'm sure he'll give you a break with traffic school (works better if you are a student). If you didn't agree with what the officer was giving you then you actually might have a fighting chance with whatever legitimate reason one of these guys will give you since I'm bad at excuses =) anyways if thats the case than you're not guilty yet or never have been. goodluck!

so if i go to traffic school, do I still pay the fine or how does that work? and should I go to traffic school BEFORE my court appearance date to make myself look like more of an earnest citizen?
but what should I say??? what's a valid excuse?
