speeding 75 in a 50 with no tickets in 20 yrs.

[levig]

I live in Asheville, North Carolina in Buncombe county. I got a ticket 75 in a 50 a speed trap. My question is the highway patrol marked on the ticket that I had a minor with me and he is 21 but the trooper did not ask his age. That was false information and will have a bad outcome in court and I do have to show up in court. Can I get this case dismissed for that reason what can I expect in court to happen and what should I plea. My new tires can have an impact on the speed they are very aggressive truck tires. Thanks for any advice my email is [email]levig@myway.com[/email].

**A: post information from the tire manufacturer that confirms that the tires have impact on speed from posted 50 mph to an actual of 75 mph.

No. That is not critical information as to the speeding violation.

what can I expect in court to happen

You can expect your name to be called. If you don't show up, you can then expect an FTA (Failure to Appear) warrant to be issued for you.

and what should I plea.

Since you offer absolutely NOTHING to show that you weren't in fact speeding, guilty sounds appropriate.

My new tires can have an impact on the speed they are very aggressive truck tires.

No. And even if they did (larger diameter, etc.) it is incumbent on YOU to adjust your speed to remain within the posted speed limit.... no matter what your tire size.

If convicted of more than 15 over, you risk licence suspension and a 45% insurance increase. A lawyer can probably help, you will get lots of letters in the mail with offers.
