Fight A Speeding Ticket

OJ Chase

Need to fight a speeding ticket? You're at the right place! There are many ways to beat a traffic ticket these days. Here are the top 3 ways to dismiss your ticket:

3. Take An Online Traffic School

By far, the easiest way to fight a speeding ticket is to not fight it at all. Simply take an online traffic school. Many states now allow you to dismiss your ticket online instead of going to a community college to sit in a boring classroom for 8 hours. You'll probably have to pay the cost of the ticket and maybe even tack on some court costs, but the ticket will be off your record. That's the ultimate goal, right?

Which Online Traffic School Is Best?

I have a full page of online traffic school reviews, but if you'd like me to save you some time, my top choice is the online traffic school through iDriveSafely.com. Feel free to browse around, but in terms of price and quality, they are simply the best ones out there if you want to fight a speeding ticket.

2. Use A Traffic Lawyer

This is a more expensive option, but if your state doesn't allow you to take an online traffic school, it might be your best bet to fight a speeding ticket. Regular traffic school sucks and it's expensive. Might as well pay a few bucks to a lawyer that can get rid of the ticket for you. Usually, if you hire a lawyer, you don't even need to show up in court. Plus, traffic lawyers can find loopholes or at the very least, get your ticket reduced so that it will come off your record.

Here are some options to consider:


1. Fight The Ticket Yourself In Court

Two words: BAD IDEA! Trying to fight a speeding ticket by yourself will almost never work. Here's what will probably happen to you...

You'll do a ton of research online to figure out how to fight a speeding ticket. Then, you'll go into court thinking you have a great case (which it might be). But then you'll find out you can't even argue the case at the first court date (a lot of courts are like this). You can only plead guilty or not-guilty. If a not-guilty plea is entered, a later court date is scheduled.

So, the next court date comes and now you're wasting your second day on this ticket. You present your case, thinking it's a great case against the officer who pulled you over. Immediately after giving your statement, the judge gives you a fine to pay plus court costs and "supervision" on your license with the option of taking traffic school to dismiss the ticket. That happens nearly every time. The above two choices would have saved you a ton of time and money.

So there you have it. The best ways to fight a speeding ticket, in order of best to worse.
