text: It depends....\n\nYou don't say what state you're in.  I succesfully fought a speeding ticket in California.  It took a lot of time and effort and was rather confusing at times, but I prevailed.\n\nI prevailed because the officer at trial didn't provide required documents to prove that the road upon which I was cited wasn't an illegal speed trap.  That meant that the officer was "incompentent as a witness" to my speed, and that the court was "without jurisdiction" to find me guilty.  (That's in the vehicle code; I didn't make it up.)  Police officers need to follow the rules, too...\n\nIf you're interested in fighting your speeding ticket, look up books from Nolo Press (www.nolo.com).\n\nI fought the ticket because I had nothing but time and nothing to lose.\n\nKeep in mind, in some states, if you go to traffic court and are found guilty, Traffic School isn't an option.\n\nOften, traffic school is the best option.
