Please wait for the mail from the County's Traffic Court.
As a first time violator, you will be given an option either to pay the fine (which can be done online or over the phone) OR contest the traffic ticket.
If you opt to pay the fine, it means that you are admitting to the charges of traffic violation. The violation will be recorded on your DMV record.
If you think that the officer got you wrong and want to contest, do not pay the fine and appear at the court pleading Not-Guilty. The judge will decide.
However, first time violators are given an option to attend driving school along with the fine payment. If you take the traffic school, the violation will be erased from your driving record. Traffic school option is given once every 18 months.
Speeding under 100 is considered a minor traffic violation, which accumulates 1 point on your DMV record. Minor traffic violation does not require you to appear in the court.
Speeding over 100 is considered an INFRACTION, which accumulates 2 points on your record. Infraction requires the violator to appear at the court in the county of violation. Fines are higher for Infraction and the driving license could be suspended.
Once you accumulate 4 points on DMV record, you are ineligible to drive. The license is void. You can get a new incense after stringent requirements. The more the points, the higher your insurance.
Its better to drive in the speed limit and NOT get carried away. A 65mph is 100 Kilometers per hour for us, which is already exciting enough :-)
All traffic tickets may not be correct. Most of the time, because of the officer's prejudice, technical faults etc, a wrong citation or a ticket may have been issued. Learn more on how to tackle Traffic Ticket and defend yourself at http://www.ticketassassin.com/
Driving 1 mph over the speed limit is a violation in general terms. Traffic tickets are usually issued when the violators go beyond 10% of the posted speed limit. See: http://ci.selma.tx.us/pdf/cd52609.pdf for types of traffic violations Selma Municipal Court, TX heard in May 2009. Note that majority of tickets were issued for 10% above the posted speed limit.
Although DMV regulations allow going over the posted speed limit only under "SAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS"; it is unclear as to what constitutes the definition of Safe Driving Condition.
Drive Safe.
