Q: I got pulled over going 49 in a 30. The cop was facing the other way when he clocked me. He dropped it to 10 mph over.
It is my first ever speeding ticket is it worth contesting. I was driving to work to a place that i only drive to once a month.
A: Most people with a clean traffic record want to keep it that way. The only way to accomplish that is to go to court, and try to get an outcome that will not affect the drivers license record. Paying the fine will result in both a conviction and a drivers license record of the conviction. "Ten over" does no good, except in a 55 mph zone.
