ha guys and girls,i got a ticket on I75 in byron ga for 87 in a 70.first ticket in 20 years.does anyone know how the traffic courts work in ga. ga has a additional fine of 200 dollars over the speed of 85.if i go on my court date and plead guilty would the judge lower my ticket?if he lowers my ticket buy 3 mph the ticket will not be reported to my insurance co and no points will be assested.thanks all..

 

hey in my experience they will reduce your speed and points reporting but you will have to pay

they may reduce the fine it if its your first offence but don't expect much I think basically they want the money

 

The first and last time I was in court for speeding the judge lowered my speed substantially. I plead guilty.

 

Im sure you'll still have to pay the fine, especially the new $200 fee that was just enforced July 1st. They should lower your speed to 14 over so you won't get any points on you license, that is if you're nice.

 

That $200 is important since it goes to trauma research hospitals.

 

thank god i didnt get busted going or coming from atl
