give you a ticket for careless driving?

He may be able to try, but if he does you can challenge the ticket in court.  I can't see any possibility of that holding up in court with no proof other than an off duty deputies week old memory.  If you have any questions about how to challenge the ticket, you can normally talk with the police station that issued the ticket or your local courthouse.  You probably won't even need a lawyer from the sounds of this.

I've never had a ticket and don't speed. It is hard to use this laptop while steering though...

My friend got a reckless driving ticket and said you only have to go to court if you want to contest the ticket. You can chance that the cop won't show up but if he/she does then you'll still have to pay the ticket plus you'll have to pay the court fees. Despite going with the flow of traffic, the cop still had the right to give you a ticket. Just pay the ticket and go to traffic school and you'll be fine.

I am certain that yes, technically,you are breaking the law (and could be ticketed!). The best thing to do in this situation is to make local municipal officials aware of the situation (go to them prepared-take a map, photographs, and all pertinant information). Your city planning department or police department may be of help. Such situations must be commonplace. It may simply be a street-planning oversite. Good Luck!

You'd probably be better of the pay the ticket.  If you go to court you may have to pay court costs as well as the fine.

Hey dude - Sorry to hear about the ticket.  I got a couple things for ya:\n\n1.) You said you think you weren't doing more than 85.  So you know, most speedometers in vehicles are off between 5-7MPH.  Unless you have a calibrated speedometer (like cop cars) your indicated speed is probably not what you are actually doing.  Be careful.\n\n2.)  I have never heard of them changing this type of violation to a non-moving violation.  I think the route you should attempt to take is to go to court and respectfully and in a non-argumentative manner, request the fine/speed be reduced due to whatever circumstances you feel are appropriate.  A lower speed will possibly reduce the points.\n\nThe key is be humble and respectful.  The worst thing that can happen is the court will say no.  Doesn't hurt to ask though.\n\nGood luck.

Depends on the state and how fast you were going. We'd need to know those first. But I do know if your state uses the point system, you may be looking at a suspension due to the tickets.

I would.  That's a ridiculous reason to ticket someone.  You have a chance of winning and if not, the worst that could happen is you get the exact fine that you have now.  You have nothing to lose but a few hours out of your day.

Contest the ticket in court and tell the judge you don't want to pay the fine.  The judge will gladly give you a few days in jail instead of a fine.

How about a pretend bill relating to cell phone usage while driving?

No, you can now get a ticket in the mail from being caught on a traffic camera...

Of course.  Keep in mind, the policeman pulling you over makes it a moving violation, points on insurance and all that.\n\nThe camera ticket merely civil.  They can fine the owner of the car, but they cannot establish who was driving it.\n\nYou should not receive two tickets, the police ticket supersedes the camera one.  If you get both, you should be able to get out of the camera one.

I was once given a ticket for going five miles over in a school zone (the exit to the school zone was not clearly marked on the road, and I began speeding up as I believed I was exiting the school zone). In Texas, you are allowed to take defensive driving for the dismisal  of a ticket (even speeding in a school zone, such as my ticket). And although it's a tedious way to spend an afternoon, I'd highly recommend defensive driving if it's an option, because you can actually use the voucher to also get a discount on your auto insurance - I checked this with the court, the defensive driving instructor and my insurance agency, it's completely legit!

You can expect to pay a nice ticket fine, points added to your driving record, and your insurance to go up!  Way to go killer!

Depending on your driving record:  Maximum 4 Points and a fine.\nGo to court, dress conservatively, be polite and respectful, plead no contest and apologize, then accept the consequences - chances are that the penalties will be mitigated.

Pay the fine, and get insurance before you get back in your car. You are playing Russian Roulette with your future, don't you realize that...it has nothing to do with the fine, it is about LIABILITY. Should you happen to be involved in an accident, whether your fault or not, you WILL BE BLAMED, as you were driving illegally, and you will be at fault...that can get very expensive...so much so that it can follow you the rest of your life as you pay, and pay, and .....pay. Don't be a chump...no excuse you can come up with justifies such a disregard for your future. \nOntario?  AS in Canada, or a city in the US??  IF in US, OVERPAY the fine by 5.00.  You will get a refund check, but DO NOT CASH IT!! As long as the accounting on this ticket is open (can't be closed if there is an outstanding + or - balance, usually, no points can be assigned to your driver's license. IF it is Canada, no points will show up anyway.
