Suggestions for a PA Speeding Ticket
Happy New Year!
I'm looking for insight regarding tickets in PA. I have lived there for about 5 years now and never had a speeding ticket there before, my last driving related offense was probably 8+ years ago in NJ. I know in NJ you could generally plead down a ticket to no points without too much of a hassle. I have no idea how anything works in PA so I'm looking for insight. The ticket was 83 in a 55 on rt 95 around 8pm at night in Lower Makefield. My license in PA should be clean with no violations moving or otherwise and I havn't had an accident in probably over 10 years. The officer was relatively pleasant, opened my window, bluntly stated he clocked me at 83 in a 55 and asked for my license which I gave him. (No reference to insurance which I found odd). Came back with a citation and explained how everything worked on the back. I didn’t really say anything more than ok and uhuh except for a clarification on what section he was pointing at on the paper. I'm not worried about the fine ($185.50) but I am worried about my insurance which is spotless at the moment. I was not in my rx7, I was driving a Chevy Equinox which is in bone stock relatively good condition. Does anyone have any insight as to how to handle this or suggestions? Thanks in advance! |
see if you can call the officer and talk to him. i just got a careless driving ticket..ran a stop sign...if i get convicted, its only a 106$ ticket, but i get 3 pts...for my job, i drive a company vehicle. if i have pts on my lic, i cant drive a co veh. so im gonna try and plead that route, that i would lose my job. gl!

generally the same as nj. Go to court, get there early and plead not guilty. they should then take u in a room with everyone who pleaded not guilty and u will get ur chance to talk to the prosecutor. Explain urself and ur perfect record and most likely u will pay inflated fees but u will get no points on ur license. Look to be paying about $450 but its def worth it.
Just like everything the courts would rather have ur money so u should be ok. |
yeah...the cops are just extra tax collectors for the state. like the guy above said. they just want the money
|
that sucks....
