Legal Question in Traffic Law in Georgia
First Time Speeding Ticket
I was caught going at 62 mph in a 45 zone, this is my first traffic violation. Should I go to court & contest it or should I pay the fine & forget about it. Also what exactly is a nolo & how can I use it.

Re: First Time Speeding Ticket
Whether or not you should go to court depends on your specific concerns. Because the amount over the speed limit is more than 14 mph, a conviction will be reported to your insurance company and your premium will in all probability increase. If you go to court and ask that it be reduced to 59 in a 45, than the ticket will not go on your insurance. Nolo contendere is a plea where you accept punishment even though you are not pleading guilty.
If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
