Connecticut 63mph in 35mph

[zooyawk]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?Connecticut. 14.219(C)(2)

I was caught doing 63 Mph in a 35 mph zone my confusion is that i was issued a Misdemeanor Summons to a Appear not a Ticket i have 2 previous tickets 1 speeding and one not speeding related. what are the possible outcomes of this. should i get a lawyer? if the officer does not appear in court will the ticket be dropped?

It's possible that the charge will be dropped without the officer, but usually they are pretty good at appearing. Further, it is not outside the realm of possibility that the case will be continued if the officer can't make it.

Reckless speeding is a serious charge and jail is a possibility. I'd recommend a lawyer.

i dont believe im being charged with reckless driving or speeding just speeding in general.

I would not hang your hat on that... you better plan for the worse like a license suspension since you have other violations....

The DIY route is not a good idea in cases like this... you might want to consult a lawyer.

working on getting in contact with the lawyer. the officer explained to me that because i was on a secondary road in excess of 60mph i was getting a court summons.
