Why You Should Contest Your Speeding Ticket
Paying your speeding ticket may seem like the easy way out, but it comes with serious consequences. At Speed Ticket Defense, we help drivers fight unfair citations and protect their driving records. Here’s what happens if you simply pay your ticket:
The Hidden Costs of Paying Your Ticket
🚨 License points added (admitting guilt)
🚨 20-30% insurance increases for 3+ years
🚨 Possible license suspension with multiple points
The good news? We successfully dismiss or reduce 80% of contested tickets!

Step 1: Review Your Ticket for Errors
Many tickets contain mistakes that can lead to dismissal:
❌ Wrong vehicle details (color, make, model)
❌ Incorrect location or speed limit
❌ Officer’s notes don’t match facts
Example: Your ticket says you drove 65mph in a 30 zone, but the road’s actual limit is 45mph – grounds for dismissal!
Step 2: Choose Your Defense Strategy
Option A: Challenge the Evidence
-
Demand radar/lidar calibration records
-
Prove officer pacing errors (failed to maintain constant distance)
-
Show weather/obstructions affected readings
Option B: Negotiate a Reduction
-
Plead to non-moving violation (e.g., “defective equipment”)
-
Request deferred adjudication (dismissal after clean driving period)
Option C: Trial by Written Declaration
-
Submit written defense (many officers don’t respond)
-
Preserve right to in-person trial if needed
