Free Tips to Beat a Speeding Ticket - Don't Give in Until You Read This First

The worst thing about getting a speeding ticket isn't the actual ticket itself, it's the repercussions you're going to have to deal with later on.  Court appearances are nerve racking and don't always end up with the verdict we want.  That's why it's important to be prepared before going into court.  If you do things right you stand a good chance at walking out of the courthouse with the charges dropped.  Here are some free tips to beat a speeding ticket that may help.

Speeding tickets are the easiest to get dismissed.  All you have to do is be polite and prepared.  Obviously, whatever you tried on the officer didn't work so you've got to try something else now.  Chances are that the officer that wrote the ticket is going to be in court, but if they aren't you may be able to get your case dropped right there.  Some more free tips to beat a speeding ticket you might use are to:

Show up to court on time Be neat, clean and presentable Be respectful to everyone around

Maybe you'll get lucky and your newest cop buddy won't be there. But they know you won't get busted then, so don't count on it.  Always make a mental note of what the officer looks like and remember his name.  (They might take your ticket from your once you get into court, that's why it's important to remember the name)

The way they "prove" you were speeding is by submitting the evidence (i.e. radar gun reading).  So there are some things you can do before hand to make sure that #1 It doesn't get to this point, and #2 that it's nearly impossible to "prove" how fast you were going.  

Was the cop moving when he checked your speed?  This will throw of the reading if the gun isn't properly calibrated, and guess what most guns aren't calibrated properly!

Ask for the licensing and service records for the gun used, when was the last time it was worked on and calibrated.  Depending on the state, if the gun went too long without maintenance it's inadmissible.  

If all else fails and the gun was right, ask to go to traffic school.  Traffic school doesn't devastate your insurance, and it's usually pretty easy to complete.  There are many free tips to beat a speeding ticket
