Q: Got a speeding ticket (85 on 55) in Fredreick MD.Is it better to get it reduced to 20MPH below posted limit?
I hold VA drivers license.
Above 20MPH is 6 point violation and 10 to 20 MPH is 4 point violation in VA.
Is it better to get it reduced to 4 point than 6 point violation?

A: As a general rule, it is always going to be best to get it reduced as low as possible. This is true because insurance companies differ in how they treat tickets, and at different speeds. In addition, if you get a future ticket, having that 30 mph over is a pretty serious prior charge. So I would say to get it reduced as low as you can. Maybe getting your speedometer calibrated can help you do even better.
