Re: radar detectors

When you go to court, ask to speak to police offer and explain she is new driver, etc. If this is 1st offense, they will prob offer to reduce to "failure to obey a traffic device."

Your question sounds like you are going to try and plead not guilty. May not be a good idea.

You may actually be "lucky" that your 17 year old got a speeeing ticket. Perhaps she'll be EXTRA careful from here on.
