What is the name of your state? Virginia
Hello,
I've recieved a speeding ticket for going 40/25. I'm pretty positive that I was speeding, and most likely going that fast. I was polite to the officer, and after he'd issued the ticket, he told me that since I was 'nice' that he recommends that I go to court and not just pay the fine. He says the worst that can happen is that I pay the whole fine. The fine comes out to $361. Yikes.
I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience. I could go to court, but I have no defense. I was speeding. The only way I can think of having the fine reduced is the officer not showing up for court. Anyone know the chances of that?
Also, has there every been any chance of pleading guilty and but still having the fine reduced?
Thanks for the adviceWhat is the name of your state?
