In general, no. Was it a local or state cop? There are certain exceptions to this rule, however.. Speeding tickets can be won or plea bargained down. Do not simply pay it- contact the Court and request a hearing. Paying the ticket entails admission of guilt and creates risk of auto insurance increases, SOS responsibility fees and impairment of driving privileges. If you can not do this on your own, feel free to contact us to hep you eliminate or reduce the number of points on your civil infraction. (888) 484-9349 or (586) 244-8384. Best of Luck.
