Q: I have a probationary license and received a speeding ticket (41 in a 25) and one for not having the red decal.
This is the first time I was pulled over. Should I plead innocent? Also will my license be revoked? How do I avoid getting points on my license or having it taken away altogether?
A: To properly answer your question, you should setup an in office consultation with an experienced traffic ticket lawyer. Most of us offer a free in office consultation so you have nothing to lose. What I will say here is that in most cases it is wise to hire a lawyer.
A: It would be a good idea to consult an attorney. There are policies limiting the ability of prosecutor's to plea bargain a traffic offense with a probationary driver. In speeding cases, there might be defenses an attorney can use once they have all the information. Many attorneys offer a free consultation.
