I was given a ticket for speeding in early September for speeding (my first in my 10 years of driving). My court date is slated for tomorrow. As it's to late to file a continuance or get a lawyer (may be overkill anyway) I figured I’d take my chances. I hope to speak to the prosecutor as my case is being called and see if I can plead it down to a non-moving violation and just pay the $200 fine. If that doesn't work, I'll ask him what he can do for me or ask him for a year deferment. What do you guys think of this strategy (chances for success)? Details of my case are that I was ticketed for speeding (69 in a 45) on the Prospect Expwy (Brooklyn, NY) on the drive home from work. For those who don't know, it's basically an extension of the BQE. Any ideas, comments, suggestions? Thanks.
