Anywhoo.. Strangely ive never gotten a speeding ticket. Worst part is i want intentionally driving fast.. Im going through some personal issues at the
Moment.. The speed limit was 65, i had so much on my mind that before i knew it i had a police officer telling me i was going 85..

Anyways.. Anyone have any tips? I dont want my insurance to go up.. Im ok paying the ticket. But i dont want a point on my record.
Ah what a day

Just got two speeding tickets this summer One ticket I'm on diversion for And the other if i pay double they will drop it. But I've only had one speeding ticket when I was 14 so if your record isn't jacked with tickets you Should be able to get it dropped and some how get if off your Record depending on your state

I always contend my tickets, and most times I get it nulled or half off the original.and especially if its your first time, you can fight it and say you had a clean record before and etc, good luck.

If you plead no contest they allow you to take drivers Ed which is a class or home video takes forever but it will have the ticket go off the record. If I remember correct been 3 years since my last ticket

Its a safety course they have in TX you can take to keep the ticket off your record. Can only do it every 6 months or something like that. I was 22 mph over and I have to do it soon.
