Medicare Supplement – Insurance Quotes

I hate speeding tickets. I hate getting them. I hate seeing other people get them. And I hate the large fines that are levied for what are in reality small forays outside the law. And most other people hate them too. And despite the fact that lawyers are working to make you pay this ticket, most people think they can beat them.

The good news is, there are ways to beat a speeding ticket. I should know, I’m a Seattle traffic lawyer. I spend a large part of my day helping people get out of traffic tickets. And I’m pretty good at it. But some things don’t work. Here are the top five.

The speed limit is incorrect. Actually just heard this one today. A guy called and thought he might be able to beat his speeding ticket by arguing that the speed limit was established incorrectly, and if it was correct, he wouldn’t be speeding. It won’t work.

Going with the flow of traffic. This is obviously a classic. Either some judge felt bad for someone on a particular day and dismissed a ticket for this or the idea just caught on for some strange reason. Take this one to court. The judge will listen like they care, then find you were speeding.

Avoiding some impending disaster. While this one actually makes sense in some respects, it usually falls on deaf ears. Whether it was the two semi-trucks that were about to sandwich you or a the swerving driver in front of you, this one’s usually a loser. Be prepared to answer the question, “why didn’t you slow down?”

The cop made a mistake. How hard do you think it is to point a gun at a car and shoot it? That’s what cops do with radar guns. And they do it all day every day. They rarely, if ever, get cars confused. And judges hear this one all day. And it doesn’t work.

There was no way I was speeding. I never speed. Problem with this one is that you’ve got a cop who says you were speeding. You are the one facing the fine, the cop probably doesn’t know you from Adam. Who do you think the court’s going to believe?

If you want to beat your ticket you have to use the law. That’s why speeding ticket lawyer’s are so good at it. We don’t attack the cop. We just use what the cop said to show the court why the infraction can’t be found.
