FAQ
What works: Be humble. Look humble. Say you didn'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't have to be legally defensible.
Common Excuses for Speeding “I Didn't Realize I Was Speeding” ... “I Was Just Keeping Up with Traffic” ... “I'm Late for an Important Appointment” ... “The Road Was Empty, So I Thought It Was Okay” ... “I Didn't See the Speed Limit Sign” ... “I Was Just Trying to Pass Someone Quickly”
``No contest'' means you are not admitting guilt, but are accepting there is sufficient evidence to convict you. ``Guilty'' means you are admitting guilt. Either way, the court will sentence you for the crime.

The defendant may bring witnesses to prove innocence or to counter the issuing officer's testimony. If the defense proves that the officer wrongly issued a traffic ticket, the judge may dismiss the case. If the judge dismisses the case, the defendant is acquitted and will not receive driving record points or penalties.
How Long Does a No-Contest Plea Stay on Your Record in Texas? Both misdemeanor and felony convictions remain on your record indefinitely. A no-contest plea will result in a permanent criminal record for both types of offenses unless you successfully petition for expungement or an order of nondisclosure (sealing).
Common Defenses Against Speeding Tickets Inaccurate Estimation of Speed by the Officer. Questioning the Officer's Vantage Point and Conditions During the Incident. Radar and Lidar Inaccuracies. Calibration and Maintenance Records of the Device. Operator Error or Improper Use of the Device. Driving to Avoid Harm or Danger.
If charged with no insurance or driving with a suspense license, nolo pleas are good options. However, if this was your first offense, our Georgia Traffic Lawyers can help get first offense charges reduced to non-reportable offenses. Getting it reduced to a non-reportable offense is better than a nolo plea.
If you wish to plead guilty or nolo contendere for most Municipal Court cases, your fine could be up to $1000 plus surcharges, and you could be subject to serve up to 12 months (state law violations) or six (6) months (local ordinance violations) in jail or on probation.

Plead 'Guilty' if the conviction will result in the suspension or revocation of your driver license. Those who choose to plead "Not Guilty" must fill out section 5.The "Not Guilty" section features a spot to request a supporting deposition. Fill out the section to plead guilty, mail it to the court address. Then the court will contact you about paying the fine. Do not plead guilty. Mail it in with not guilty and get a plea. However, a point reduction in the TVB is not a possibility. There is no plea bargaining. Plead not guilty and ask to speak with the District Attorney.
