A: That question may not be worded just right. Strictly speaking, the answer is "no." But, if you want to prevent a speeding ticket from being certified by the court to MN DPS to go on your driver;s license record -- that may be possible. It depends upon a few things: what happened ("the facts"); your record in the past three to five years; and whether you have a defense attorney. And if it can be done, the cost will vary with those same factors. If you really want to know, call me or another speeding defense attorney to discuss your specifics.
