It should be written on the ticket, but you can call the county courthouse and find out.

For example: \nFine= $10 for extra 1 mile above speed limit 50miles/hour.\n\nIts a linear function. y=mx+c\n\ny= total fine\nx= miles exceeded\nc= 0 (Zero) or (any special charge by Police)\n\nIf no additonal charge then:\nf(x)=$10x\n\nIf extra charge for booking (for example $5)\nThen:\nf(x)=$10x + $5\n\nYou can plot the graph form this equation.\nFind x-intecept and y intecept. It will be a straight graph.

call the court clerk whose number should be on the ticket.

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.

You need to go to court and pay the tickets. They will give you an Abstract to take to DMV.

It's a valid ticket inasmuch as it's a real ticket.\n\nThe inaccuracy, if present on the officer's copy of the ticket (and, presumedly, your copy, too), does present inaccuracies in the officer's version of the events.\n\nIf he read his watch wrong, how can we be sure he didn't read the speedometer wrong?  Or the radar gun?  This is what can be called "reasonable doubt"; especially if you can *TRUTHFULLY* testify that you weren't going the speed the officer cited you for.  (Or, in *certain* circumstances, that the speed you were going--regardless of the posted limit--was safe because of traffic flow, weather conditions, etc....)\n\nIf you have a fair judge, you may "beat" the ticket.\n\nOn the other hand, it can take quite a bit of time to adequately make a defense against a traffic ticket.  You *may* be better off just attending traffic school if you can.  (Bear in mind, that in many US states, if you go to trial and lose, you will *not* have the option of Traffic school....)

Talk to the prosecutor before you have to pay the ticket. Alot of times they will either reduce or dismiss it. I had one dismissed yesterday by talking to the prosecutor a couple counties over here in Indiana.

plead not guilty. the burden of proof will then be on the state to prove that the device was properly calibrated. that is extremely hard to do. but if you were speeding pay the fine and forget about it.

My brother just got in trouble for going 78 in a 40 in June. He had no previous tickets or anything got a $150 dollar fine. They could make you go to traffic school. It really depends on if your judge is in a good mood, and how many previous offenses you have

Go to court and plead guilty.  I have been to court many times and have seen people try to prove that the radar gun is not calibrated properly...All I have to say is good luck.  Again, plead guilty and ask for leniency.  Especially if it is your first offense.  In MD, the have what is called probation before justice where the fine is reduced by half and no points are given towards your driving record.  Again, I have never been screwed by going to court and pleading guilty, always had the fine reduced and points reduced or eliminated.  Never just pay the fine.  I hope that is what you were asking.  To get out of a speeding ticket, just apologize and ask if there is any way they can cut you a break.  I've gotten out of a handful of tickets with just a warning by being respectful to the officer.

ostly appearance tickets cost a hundred bucks or so..If you want to know about your particular area..you could call the courthouse...they will tell you an approximate fine..or you can research by looking in your local newspaper and reading the court news section...usually there are a few offenders listed in the newspaper and you can read how much they had to pay. Its not that big of a deal...Its just part of growing up!

Best thing is pay the fine. But if you gutts tell you to fight it then you better enter a no contest plea then spill your gutts to the judge. First time offenders are easier to get away with stuff. But you were speeding 20 over so good luck!! (you will need it)

If you want a serious answer, this is it.  I have worked in Law Enforcement for 15 years and this is one of the more mundane types of contact the police have.  DON'T LIE!!!!!.  If you know you were speeding say so IF ASKED.  Be polite and don't make excuses, the officers have heard them all and know when you are lying.  Don't give the officer grief, after all this is his job and depending on how fast you were going you may have be a hazard to yourself and others.  A ticket is not the end of the world and in most places if you do not receive multiple tickets you can get it dismissed by taking a safe driving course.  Remember the roadways are for everyone so be safe and allow others to be safe also.  Good Luck!

Depends on how much the ticket is.  Seems like you have a good case, weather or not you can tell your side to the judge. Sometimes, you talk to a person before the court and they make recommendations.  If you want to fight, write your facts down before hand and go for it. Otherwise, if it's not too much $$, write it and the experience off. Sorry, to hear your situation, doesn't sound fair from your side.  Best of 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.

For future reference, you need to find out how the officer knew how fast you were going.  If he got you on radar, ask to see the radar.  \nRemember that you have a right to face your accuser so that radar gun is your accuser, if it has been cleared then there is no evidence that you were truly going that fast.\n\nThis time I would go to court.  it might be nice to have some witmesses there, but you need to realize that most family member would lie to help out their son or grandson.\nBut there is a chance that the officer won't show up and in that case you again have a right to face your accuser, so most times the fine is droped or waived.  \n\nI would suggest dressing up for court, respect the Judge, he is the one who will deceide not the officer if the ticket will stand.\n\nGood luck
