What is the name of your state? Mississippi (city of Hattiesburg)
Got a ticket today for 48 in a 30. Wasn't really paying that much attention as I seemed to be going at the same rate like everyone else.
Don't so much have a problem with the speeding ticket, except the officer wrote me up for careless driving and wrote the speed under that instead of in the speeding box.
Question - Should I contest this and try to plea bargain it down to a speeding fine? It would seem that careless driving is much worse than a speeding ticket. This is the first time I have ever gotten a "careless driving" citation. I had a speeding ticket back in January in another town for about the same speed and was written as a speeding ticket. Prior to that I haven't had a ticket in 10 years.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
