There should be a phone number on the back of the ticket. She can call that and find out what the amount is.

what was the ticket for? Are you SURE it's a bogus ticket, were you speeding, not signaling, etc? Usually, even in Hickville, etc., cops are held to a pretty high standard, there. I'd re-read the ticket and really think on it. Don't just be biased, make SURE you were doing right. If not, then fess up, and pay the ticket.\n\nI read your addition to the original, if I was you I'd pay the ticket...then MOVE. Or, just avoid that town from now on. Pay it, under protest, then take the whole thing and mail it to the state atty. general, let them deal with it...

You will be able to find more information on the back of your ticket, such as the address to write to, phone numbers to call, etc.\n\n(You didn't mention your home state, the state the ticket was issued in, what the offense was, or anything else really, so I can't help you further, sorry...)

Since the wavelength of green light is 530nm and  red light is 630nm (I'm generalizing),\nv = 0.17c = 0.17 × (3 × <10 to the 5th power> ) × (60 × 60) = 185 × <10 to the 6th power> kph.\nSo unless the fine is a percentage of one cent per mile per hour over the speed limit, it's gonna be steep.

If you are going more than 10% higher than the speed limit ie 67 in a 60 zone or 56 in a 50 zone then you can get points and a fine.\n\nI got points and a fine for 34 in a 30 zone. \n\nIt can take up to a month for the fine etc to come through - there is no time limit on it.

The size of your fine goes up.\nIn my state you are fined for being over the speed limit then given an additional fine for each 10 miles over the posted limit. It can add up to a pretty penny going 65 in a 30.

I was proud of my first speeding ticket too. Hung it on my fridge for a week, then took it to my mom's house and hung it on her fridge for a week.  I was so proud.  I am a 34 year old woman who drives big rigs for living and probably know more about trucks than any decent woman should but I say go for it.  It feels great.

It tends to be on technicalities.  Where there many vehicles moving with you and you were received a tickets?  Did this affect the radar gun effectiveness with your vehicle?  When the officer was pacing your vehicle, was his spedometer calibrated properly and in properly maintained?\n\nSo you see, there are many technicalities.  But if you are responsible, it is better to take a driving class if offered by the court to have the ticket dismissed.

Every single state has their own revised codes or laws concerning traffic, etc.  Most states have a set fine for traffic tickets. Sherriff & local police should be the same. Check with a local attorney in that area

On a stretch of road that ran straight for about 3.5 miles, I clocked a oncoming vehicle at 136mph. I had never had one that high and was wondering if the radar was not accurate. I reset it and it showed 147mph, to my luck another unit was behind me about 1.5 miles and was able too stop the vehicle. Needless to say no ticket issued, he was jail bound and his vehicle towed. Not had one that high since.

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....)

It sounds like you're charged with violating a "prima facie" speed limit.  Also known as the "Basic Speed Law" which states in brief, "Drive no faster than is safe under existing conditions."  (Check the California Vehicle Code section you're accused of violating.)\n\nIf you wish to fight the ticket, you will probably lose the opportunity to attend traffic school if you lose.  But, fighting a citation during which radar was used here in California is fairly straight forward and simple.  (Provided you know what you're talking about.)\n\nAt court, if the citing officer doesn't present evidence that the section of road you were cited on is *not* an illegal speed trap, the law assumes it *is* an illegal speed trap.  That evidence the prosecution must present is called an "engineering and traffic survey".  Without it, the radar evidence can not be admitted, the officer is considered "incompetent as a witness" to your speed, no evidence to your speed (if presented by the prosecution/Officer) is admissable, and the court is "without jurisdiction" to find you guilty.  (California Vehicle Code Section 40805, I think...)\n\nI recommend a book called "Fight your Ticket and Win In California" from Nolo Press out of Berkely.  (Check your local bookstore, online, or at www.nolo.com. )  It explains what you need to do.\n\nOn the other hand, you've admitted you were speeding.  Your time might be more important to you than learning how to defend yourself for such a minor infraction.  You might be better off just requesting traffic school.

i cant speak for how Iowa does it but i can tell you in IL and IN how its done. Depending on the speed on the second ticket there will be a drivers class he would have to take (which is mind numbing to say the least- my brother had to take it) on the third ticket (depending on the time between tickets) you would lose your license till your 21. I know Iowa has a slightly different way of going about it. I would say call your local police department for exactly details since its a serious matter, but my advice to you is to get him to slow down before you have to drive him everywhere for the next 5 years i wish you the best of luck and i hope all turns out well

You will have to look for the phone number on the ticket\n\nCall that and set a traffic court date.  You will speak with a judge and just explain your situation.  99% chance it will get thrown out as most people who were in the wrong wouldn't go through all the effort of going to court.
