Q: I have 1 point for using cell phone Today I got a speeding ticket. 80 mph 65 moh zone. Need advise
A: It’s a 2 point offense. Request a trial date (NOT a waiver hearing). If the officer doesn’t show, you’ll be found not guilty. Otherwise you can ask for a “probation before judgment “ (PBJ) which means no points and no conviction; or the judge can simply reduce the speed to a 1 point offense. Go online and take the MVA Driver Improvement Program and bring the certificate of completion to court.
