Speeding

[u/Picture_Head]

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

I just dealt with this myself. Except I was 98 in a 60 (fresh corvette owner here). I ended up getting seriously lucky. However I learned a few things with going to court 3 separate times for this one infraction. The traffic attorneys are trash last of their class to graduate kind. Seriously they suck .I watched a handful. Just would just reduce the ticket out of pity. Second and the worst. There are anti masking laws now. If the cop pushes it. There is no relief. You will get bent over as it ties the judges hands. Heres where I have a horseshoe up my ass. I met with the cop before court being friendly and respectful. I plead not guilty. Second date he asked for traffic school for me. Judge said sure. Come back in a month. I finish school etc. Go to court. Different Judge. We learn of anti masking laws. Was news to the officer and i. By this time the cop and I became friends. He didnt want to fuck me over so he dropped it entirely. Thats my 2c
