What is the name of your state? Tulsa, Oklahoma
I was pulled over for speeding in an active school zone going 13 over, and now I've had several friends tell me that I need to get legal representation because they've heard the courts will hit you hard with that (massive fines, sentence deferred, ect.).
I've never had a speeding ticket before and I'm usually a very cautious driver. I was pulled over going 38 in what is normally a 40 mph zone. I go through the area often, but I'm usually working when the zone is active but had traded my lunch hour with a coworker. I received an order to go to court, but no actual amount was put on the ticket. The ticket reads that I was pulled over at 11 o'clock which is just when the school zone lights go active.
Should I get legal representation? What's the best way to handle this? I'd prefer a smaller ticket...
