I was driving down the street going 45 (the normal speed limit) when i got pulled over. Apparently there was road work so the speed limit was 25? I want to go to court to fight it because i cant remember seeing any signs posted and he pulled me over within one minute of turning [...]
Any advice on whether or not it is best to do a written hearing regarding a speeding ticket or go in person? I am in a state where either option is available. Has anyone had any luck on mailing in an explanation? I was ticketed for going 56 in a 45 and I want to [...]
i went onto a 30 with houses on one side countryside on the other from a 40 ( dual carriageway ) im confident there were no limit signs
I was on a 35 mph road, at the time i was lost and didnt know, so of course i was speeding….he told me that he clocked me at 51 in a 30mph zone. I proceeded to ask him if it was a wreckless ticket and he told me "no you were just going a [...]
Aprroximatly A week and a half ago I was cited for 51mph in a 35 mph zone. It was 8pm at night on a clear night. My route of travel was I had exited a freeway in hawaii on my way to a military base. The only sign visible was a yellow caution sign at [...]
Alright so the background on this is i was doing 88 in a 65 and my radar failed to go off, as i saw the officer begin to pull out, i went to the right lane began to slow down, and took my radar off. The officer and me had a nice chat and he [...]
I am 17 years old, and this is my first speeding ticket. It happened in Maine which is where I also live. I was driving at a speed of 92 on the interstate which is 27mph over the posted signs (65mph). Luckily I wasn’t going 3 mph faster or it would have been criminal speeding. [...]
The White Speeding Signs with the Speed numbers listed on the highways and roads, and interstates, are showing us the MAXIMUM Speed allowed by the law, not the Officers. They Officers uphold the laws, just like the Military does not tell their comanders they dont want to fight, they do it, they took the oath [...]

There was one of those "your speed is….."signs on the highway, i went thru going 5 over and the thing instead of showing my speed gave me a flashing red line. it was really dark and i went by fast obviously lol so i dont know do u think it may have taken a pic [...]
I got a speeding ticket for doing 55 in a 35 zone. I am not from the area and there was no speed limit sign. As far as I could tell I was on an entrance ramp to a highway but the ticket says "access road". It was a 2 lane road with shoulders only [...]
Last week I was given a ticket for going 45mph in a school zone ( near a public high school) I understand the trafic laws but in my defense, even though it was 20 min before school, there were no students in sight (except for one J walker). In addition, the street that I got [...]
I was driving at night on the freeway and i decided to speed because there were no signs of any cars infront or behind me. I was going up a hill and i hit 110. going down the hill, i slowed down to 55 and then continued at 65. 10 seconds later, a car enters [...]
A road where I live was changed from 60 to 45 almost 3 months ago, but still at any given time there are up to 6 cars pulled over on the side of the road. For God’s sake they have bright orange flags sticking from the speed limits signs. Then they bitch about how the [...]
Hey, im 19 years old and thats my first offence, i was leaving college, and was driving out, and got pulled over by the cops, and shocked to know that i was driving 41 mph on a 25 school zone! the signs are impossible to see! when i call, it says that its appearance in [...]
today i was on my way home from the post office when i saw one of those signs that display your current speed. i was going about 10 mph over the speed limit. just before i slowed down a light underneath the sign flashed a few times. is this a speed camera/speed trap? should i [...]
Lately, photo radar tickets in my neighborhood are out of control. The thing that annoys me most about them is that they seem almost impossible to contest. If I went five miles over the limit in a specific area of a busy street, how would I know? Worse, they don’t even post signs telling you [...]
I have 3 points on my license already, and i was driving home on a road which is a 40mph zone about 200 yards away from it turning into a 60zone. about 2 minutes later i was pulled for speeding. When i was on the 40 zone i started speeding up and was going 59mph, [...]

Tonight a friend of mine got pulled over for going down a one-way street. The street was clearly labeled with "DO NOT ENTER" signs. The cop gave him a reckless driving ticket but did not indicate anything about speeding. Also, he cut through a parking lot to avoid a light prior to going down the [...]
I was watching an episode of Top Gear (British Car Show) and they did a stint in Japan with the new Nissan GTR. They talked about the speed cameras. But they mentioned that they were marked so drivers had a warning. I live in a pretty much crime free area, so the police are either [...]

I was doing 51 in a a zone the signs say 45. The ticked I got in the mail said I was in a 40 zone. That’s crap. I can appeal it, anyone have experience with this, and if so how should I contest it and what should I say?
I was driving down a hill into a small town in Michigan a few weeks ago. There are signs which say 25 mph and hill braking required. There were 3 cars in front of me. I checked my speed and was braking at 25mph. There was a police officer wayyyy down at the bottom of [...]
I went to trial and lost. Now I’m appealing. Based on the 3 submitted briefs, will I win this thing? You can find the briefs posted here: http://forum.freeadvice.com/showthread.php?t=386652 I am not ignorant of the law. In fact, I know the law requires signs to have an enforceable speed limit. In my brief, I did not [...]
