    it all depends on how fast you were going........ if it is just a speeding ticket......

    plea not guilty, once you are called to talk to the stand ask to talk to the solicitor about your ticket.... when talking to him/her tell them you are willing to plea guilty but not to the speed they caught u at.... and see if they will bargin with you, i have gotten so many tickets reduced due to this its insane if its a higher speed just ask to be put at 14 over... therefor it will not go on your record or get you any points....

    if it is a major ticket and you are in fear of alot of points or whatnot plea nolow.... you will still get a fine but no points.......

    hope this has helped some

    Keep in mind that if you've pled nolo before you can only do it every 5 years i believe.

    Overall though i'd go with Chris's advice... I've been a few times and i always get the impression that they just want to take your money and call it a day.

    With nolo though they also might knock the violation down. All depends really on your past record. A lot of voilations, and they will smack you in the face with the book.

    well i am 24, been driving since i was 16. Only had one ticket before and it was 2 weeks after i got my license for not stopping at a stop sign all the way because i was late for work.

    This ticket was for 28 over, 83 in a 55. I am just not quite sure how the court process works. As far was when I can talk to the solicitor or ask the judge to lower the speed as you said down to 14 over so it doesn't go on my license.

    I also found that under some code, cant remember the number right now, that if i take defensive driving before court that they can't put points on my license and they have to reduce the fine by 20%. I would rather take the DD class and try to get them to lower the ticket down to 14 over.

    Any more info would help.
    Thanks
