In Minnesota, a conviction for speeding 74 in a 65mph speed limit would bo on the court's record and the Driver's License Record. (Then the insurance companies will know.) The way to avoid that would be to set up a court appearance rather than pay the fine. Then try to resolve the case... Read more »
Trooper got me on radar going 76 in a 60mph zone. I was on a 2 way highway but in a passing zone so I had sped up to overtake the vehicle in the slow(right) lane. The officer entered the violation as 65 in a 60mph zone stating the Dimler amendment was applicable. Is it worth going to court to try... Read more »

Many people prioritize keeping a speeding ticket conviction off of the their DRIVER'S LICENSE record. Minnesota's "Dimler speeding provision" can provide an opportunity to do just that. But it may not always apply for all drivers cited for 65 or less in a 55 or 60 mph zone: CDL... Read more »

As a 17 year old if you plead to offense with 6 points or more you could be subject to suspension. I would contact an Attorney to represent you.
Need a new ID not a license. Got a ticket years ago and moved out of state. Didn’t take care of tickets. Will I get arrested going to DMV for ID?

You could move to suppress the evidence but it does not seem to justify the expense and trouble. Might be better to hire an attorney just to work it out at Court.

You have a right to appeal a court's decision. It must be filed within 30 days of your first hearing, in the same courthouse as the first. (The appeal will be heard by the Superior court). The last I heard the filing fee was $250. You can get the paperwork for filing from the court clerk.... Read more »
Should I just pleas guilty and pay the 210.50 ?what's my best option for this situation
answered on Feb 5, 2023
Since you don’t mention anything that is likely to be a defense and the fine is so minimal, I recommend paying the fine and renewing the registration.

The maximum penalty for speeding 26-34 mph over the limit is 6 months in jail and a $1,500.00 fine - the minimum penalty is court supervision. Of course, the goal is to avoid jail time and a criminal conviction. Traffic school and community service are more common than jail. The ultimate result... Read more »

The lawyer will obtain all of the discovery and evidence from the State (including officer dash video and body camera video... Read more »

Hi. Great job! It means that the other two violations will be dismissed as “covered” by your plea to the disobeying a traffic control device violation.

That means unlicensed operation and improper plate charges will be covered under your plea to the amended charge with no independent plea to them. You will only be pleading to the reduced offense amended from the speeding. You need to note, however that disobeying a traffic device IS a moving... Read more »

The answer to your question is yes, you could be mailed a citation ut the question I would have is: why wouldn't the office give you the citation at the scene? Call an attorney if you receive anything in the mail. Good luck.
If I was never given a ticket or sign the ticket because I was never given a ticket how can I have a failure to appear against me if I did not know I needed to appear because there was no citation given to me but now I have a failure to appear and they claim that they have an unsigned ticket what...

No one in this forum can accurately comment on your specific situation, but you have the right to contest the matter if you believe you did not commit an offense. Contact the court and request a hearing. Calling an attorney might help. Good luck.
Hypothetically, a person is pulled over for speeding but said person was not speeding. What would happen if that person opted not to sign for the ticket?
answered on Feb 1, 2023
The individual could be arrested and jailed pending a court date to adjudicate whether he/she is guilty or not.
Signing a traffic ticket is simply promising to appear in court. It is not an admission of guilt by the driver.
The ticket says for 7. the charge was based off of officers direct observation then confirmed with radar, but there were also cars a next to me. Any advice on how I can try and fight this in court, I have already mailed in right away and pleaded not guilty. Thank you for any help, I appreciate it... Read more »

Hi. This is an 8 point speeding violation. You basically have two options-plea bargain (negotiate) or trial. In general, for a high speeding ticket like this it is best to plea bargain with the prosecutor to have your violation reduced in order to avoid a heavy impact on your insurance premium....

It is best to consult with a civil attorney who handles this type of claim.
He also stopped me using 2-Radar. How can I get this down or reduced, etc.

If this is your first speeding ticket (or the first in over 18 months) your ticket should be able to be reduced. You need to put in a not guilty pleas ASAP (keep a copy of the ticket before you mail it in), or go to an experienced traffic lawyer who can handle everything for you and you would not... Read more »
