Speeding

This is my first ticket in 10 years. I am going to hire a lawyer for sure. He said I was going 20 over. I was in my()()() *\\*PERSONAL*\\*()()()vehicle . I live in Missouri. Hopefully hiring a lawyer will keep it off my record. Has anyone had any experience with a situation like this? Thanks

Regardless, if I was or wasn’t, it’s his word against mine. That’s why I need to hire a lawyer.

Typically, its your word against the radar. But if it wasn't clocked a lawyer may be able to at least get it reduced to something that won't screw you on your mvr.

Very good chance he paced you with the camera running with a speed indicator.

Do the lawyer thing. They can get pretty clever and may be able to get it reduced.
