For a 57 in a 45 speeding ticket is it best to pay, hire a lawyer, or appear in person?

pay and go to driving school.... the 4 hour interweb session is a cakewalk.....
... or if you've already done that in the past few months you can go to the 8 hour session at teh Bridgeview courthouse with me on April 14.

never plead guilty...appear in person and try to get it reduced
57 in a 45 is not serious enough to get a lawyer but you might as well show up to court. It can get dismissed, the cop can fail to show, or the judge can be lenient. You almost always get the ticket reduced...once you do, pay and do driving school.

Wow, you have no luck at all. I only get pulled over once every couple of years now.
Maybe I've slowed down a little. I've stopped driving like I'm qualifying on the way to work. Maybe it's all of those signs that say $375 fine in a work zone everywhere I go.

I used to drive really agressive and get into trouble a lot..... now I pretty much just speed.....
Meah, cost of doing business.....
I have total repect for law enforcement officals but apparently not enough respect for speed limits.
