Hi Guys, Hope someone has experience handling this kind of situation. My driving license is from Texas. I was recently driving on the highway in New York and was pulled over for speeding. The speed limit was 55 and officer said radar showed my top speed to be 70. When the officer asked me if I knew the reason why I was stopped, I said maybe I was speeding and I didn't know the speed limit. He handed me the speeding ticket and said if I say I am not guilty need to appear on the court which is not possible as I live in Texas. If I sign it saying I am guilty, it's going to be on my driving record. This is my first speeding ticket and my license is new (less than 1 year). So, can you guys suggest me what would be the better way for me to handle this situation? Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Guys paying 200 dollar ticket is not big deal. If you can afford road trips to another state then definitely you can afford 200 dollar ticket. But what about insurance? It will show on your history for 3 years. Those who think these speeding ticket will not effect insurance , you are wrong 101%. I will rather pay lawyer 500 dollars instead of paying 200 for ticket and paying 3 yr to insurance company.

see if you can negotiate with the prosecutor on the phone or trial by phone... the most u can say is its your first time.. since they know you are out of state person... they might not care.. you are just a $$$ bill to them... i dont think its worth going for lawyer..specially since u are out of state.. yes your insurance will go up..but it will only stay for 3 years on insurance..
