If you received a speeding ticket in Weston, Florida, you have a few options to consider:
Pay the ticket: If you agree that you were speeding, you can simply pay the fine. This is usually the easiest option, but it will also result in points being added to your driver’s license, which could lead to increased insurance premiums and other consequences. This is your worst option. After handling over 2,000,000 traffic and speeding tickets, I can tell you with certainty that this is not what you should. Do, you have other options below, but keep in mind, if you hire a traffic ticket lawyer, he may guarantee you no points on your driver’s license, no driving schools and most importantly, you will not lose 2 days or work or school going to court as the lawyer goes in your place almost 100% of time.
Attend traffic school: In some cases, you may be able to attend a traffic school program instead of paying the fine. This can help you avoid having points added to your license, but it may still result in higher insurance premiums.
Contest the ticket in court: If you believe that you were wrongly accused of speeding, you can contest the ticket in court. You will need to present evidence and argue your case in front of a judge, and the judge will decide whether to dismiss the ticket or uphold it. This option can be time-consuming and costly, but it may be worth it if you have a strong case. And this assumes you are good going to court at least twice, once for the initial prehearing conference and then again on the day of the trial. Often, the case is continued at least one time because the officer has a conflict, which means you will be asked by the Judge to please come back one last time for your trial. Assuming you go to trial, your odds of winning are not good, unless you are an experienced attorney.
Negotiate a plea bargain: In some cases, you may be able to negotiate a plea bargain with the prosecutor. This can result in a reduced fine or an agreement to attend traffic school instead of paying the full fine. Good luck trying to talk to the prosecutor or Judge if you are not a lawyer. It’s possible, but not advised.
It is important to keep in mind that the specific laws and procedures for dealing with a speeding ticket in Weston, Florida, can vary, so it is best to consult a local traffic ticket and speeding ticket attorney.
