Q: I have supervision and i get a ticket for speed, Was the speed limits 55 and my speed 64. Waht shold i do?
A:
Hello Asker,
My recommendation is that it depends on the timing of your court supervision, the reason for your prior supervision, and the counties of both offenses. Technically, the second ticket is a violation of the supervision though with it being such a minor speeding violation, it may be possible to preserve your court supervision in spite of the violation. Because there are so many moving parts to this question, it is best answered by an attorney in a consultation by phone or in person.
So many factors play into preserving supervision in such situations. Whether the ticket was issued by the same county, whether the supervision period is close or far from ending, and other concerns all factor into deciding what is the best way to address this violation so as to minimize the damage it may have on your record.
As such, I recommend scheduling a consultation with an attorney so they can investigate what strategy is best for your situation.
I hope that helps and we wish you all the best. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Jason A. Wilkins
