Plead No Contest Or Guilty On Speeding Ticket In Hennepin

Q: What is the best excuse for a speeding ticket in court?

What works: Be humble. Look humble. Say you didn&#039;t think you were going that fast. Offer an explanation for why you might have been going faster than you thought: the speed limit changed recently, there was construction, the car is unfamiliar, you rarely drive this route. It doesn&#039;t have to be legally defensible.
