Wrong speed limit

[icemomochacha]

What is the name of your state? California
Do I get a chance to win my ticket if the police put the wrong speed limit on the cititation.
I was going 62 on a 45 but police put 40.
Please help.

You won't "win" with that argument, but you can proudly say you were only 17 over the limit instead of 22.

Carl,

Tks for your reply.
Another thing, instead of fight for my ticket in front judge, do I stand a better chance if I write a letter to the court?

Regards,

Contesting the citation in writing won't do any more good than contesting it in person unless you have some defense to the violation. Without a defense, you at least stand the slim chance the officer won't show in court if you go in person. Plus, you can opt for traffic school if you are eligible.

Q: Another thing, instead of fight for my ticket in front judge, do I stand a better chance if I write a letter to the court?

A: You cannot write a letter to the court. If you did, they would ignore it.
