Hey, shmokes, small legal question for you....

If you are at fault pay it and learn from it.

If you are caught speeding in a Work Zone, you will be in trouble.  I think it is double penalty.

If you want to take a chance, go to court.  Most of the time the cop will not want to be present and you should get off lightly or free.  If the cop shows up you might lose your license.

Better to man up and pay it, and be more careful as it could cost you your life, or even a child because of your speeding in the future.  No point speeding, and you always end up having to wait at the red light. 

I had my license since I was 16 and it is squeaky clean.  I always keep to the speed limit, except in open desert.  Yes I get every bozo giving me the finger, every cop checking my plates, and my family says I drive like an old woman.  I also have the lowest insurance than anyone in the family.  Go figure.

I believe in being responsible for one's actions.  If you were actually speeding you were committing a crime and as an American Citizen it is your duty to accept the punishment for the crime.  Of course you are entitled to your day in court, but that is supposed to be for defending yourself if you feel that you are innocent, NOT for worming your way out of paying.  By doing so you are wasting the court's time, taxpayers' money and setting a bad example.

Horrible advice. Fight the ticket if possible. You are under no moral obligation to pay the maximum fine, accept the point penalty, and possible increase in your insurance rates.

Seems like most people here have never owned a sports car. Lol. Even then, there are some more legitimate excuses for fighting a ticket. Everybody is assuming the worst here. Maybe he got ticketed for doing 10 over in a strange part of town at night. You guys are telling me you always know the speed limit wherever you are? Maybe he was following traffic and got picked out for one reason or another. Cops are just as fallible as everyone else, sometimes more so.
