Where you recently pulled over and given a ticket for speeding on East Brambelton Avenue in Norfolk? Speeding tickets are a common traffic citation, and most people just go ahead and pay the fine. However, a speeding ticket is more costly than you may realize. In addition to the hefty fine, a speeding ticket may add points to your license and can trigger an increase in insurance rates.
It is not a good idea to try to fight a speeding ticket alone. An experienced traffic attorney has the knowledge and skill set it takes to fight the citation.
Fighting a Speeding Ticket
Some of the methods a traffic attorney may use to fight your speeding ticket are:
- Instrument calibration – The majority of speeding tickets are issued after the police use a radar, laser, or pace clocking method to determine your speed. The officer must prove that the instrument used to determine your speed is accurate.
- Document accuracy – When an officer cites you for speeding, he records the charges on a legal document, which must be extremely accurate. Your attorney will check for errors on this document, which may result in dropped charges.
- Jurisdiction – The officer that cited you with the infraction must be within his jurisdiction. Issuing a citation outside of his jurisdiction may also result in the removal of the citation.
