Yeah, that's what a friend told me: if the officer who issued the citation does not appear in court with you, very likely your citation will be dismissed. I think you can admit that you went over the speed limit, but the key is to come up with a good reason WHY you went over the speed limit (ie, your foot got stuck on the gas peddle, your brake wasn't functioning, you lost control of your legs at the time, you were coming down a hill and wanted to know if your car could take off the ground, you saw a missile chasing you, you were trying to out-run a bullet...these are NOT good excueses :P) |
