Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

I got a speeding ticket today with an out of state license and registration. I got the ticket in CA. The cop wrote me a ticket for speeding also unlicensed driver and out of state registeration as a misdemeanor. Which the ticket say is correctable if I get a CA license and registration. Speeding ticket is not correctable. My question is will I get charged after fixing the correctable items? Also on the ticket it says the time he wrote the ticket was 850 am when I was at work at 815am. I have proof on my time slip I was at work by 815am. Would I have enough evidence to plead quilty to this ticket and get off? Or should I just pay the ticket?

There are all kinds of ways to fight speeding and other tickets. However, driving without an in-state license is a misdemeanor crime, and you should get legal assistance. Among the things I would like to know about your situation is what is your out-of-state address, when did you start working here, do you still intend to return to your out-of-state address, and other things (do not post the answers to LawGuru). Last one of these I had I persuaded the city attorney to throw it out -- but your situation may be different and I can't guarantee or predict results. If you hire an attorney to handle your misdemeanor, you won't have to attend most court hearings, and if you're lucky you'll never have to go to court at all.
