Careful what you "Say"

Be careful of what you say or write when you plan on contesting your ticket. A typical example of the errant phase would be, "There's no way I was going 65mph! I was only doing 60mph!" Chances are, somewhere in the middle lies the truth about your speed and the officer's estimation. That's great, you now have a Moral victory.

But here's the problem with that: THE MAXIMUM SPEED LIMIT FOR TRUCKS IS 55 MPH.

Therefore, by claiming that you were "Only" going 60mph and that the officer was way off in his/her estimate only guarantees the outcome: GUILTY.

The judge/commissioner no longer has any leeway to find in your favor. Worst of all your attorney, who may have already made a sweet deal for you with the officer/court to amend/mitigate/reduce the charge, is now "Handcuffed" by YOUR admission of guilt.

So please remember that old TV Cop-show line about the "Right to remain silent" because if you don't then "Anything you say CAN and WILL be used AGAINST YOU" in Traffic Court.
