If you are looking for help with a King George speeding ticket, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some tips and advice to deal with your ticket.
Your first important step is to read the ticket you received. Some speeding tickets aren’t simple speeding tickets. Instead, they may be reckless driving tickets based on the speed you were traveling.
If you have a reckless driving ticket, many of the following tips still apply. However, it is a much more serious charge than just speeding. That’s why you need to carefully check over your ticket.
After verifying the charge you’re facing, I suggest getting a copy of your driving record. You can do that by contacting your state’s DMV. Your driving record will be a key piece of evidence that can decide what happens in your case.
To be convicted of a speeding ticket, the Commonwealth must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The officer will have to testify that he clocked your vehicle at the accused speed and that his radar or laser unit was functioning properly.
The officer also has to prove that his equipment has been calibrated within six months of your traffic stop.
A speeding ticket isn’t the most serious charge in Virginia. But it may be the most serious legal issue you’ve encountered.
Since many lawyers, including myself, offer free consultations, why not take us up on it? You may be surprised at the ways I can reduce or dismiss charges, depending upon all the facts and circumstances.
I’d love to talk to you and come up with a plan together.
