What is the name of your state?
Pennsylvania
On 26th of last month, I received a ticket for doing 84 in a 55 (+29), (S 75 $3362 $$A2-29, Exceed 55 mph in other loc by 29 MPH). I know I am guilty of this, however, I just have a question concerning my trial. I pleaded not guilty and received a trial date of VALENTINE'S DAY. I was informed it was a five point violation, however, if I would try and request a no-points violation at the expense of a higher fine, would I need to call the officer beforehand and request this from him? Or would I need to appear in court for this? Also, would it be beneficial for me to hire a lawyer and take my place of this?
The reason I request a no-points violation is I'm currently in college and travel from Philadelphia home (~100 miles) almost every weekend and would prefer not to have these points on my license. Also, if I approach the lawyer route, would I try and hire one from Philadelphia or Columbia?
I appreciate those that took the time to read this, and any response is greatly appreciated.
