Any recourse on a speeding ticket?

[harrycalahan]

Taken by a camera in a school zone doing 23 over due to an emergency. Never received a ticket by mail from a camera. Still trying to figure out why this is discounted at only $80 compared to some for $200 I received years ago for a lesser offense. So is there any recourse against the kings ransom? How about keeping it off my record? And is there a map somewhere showing where these revenue generating cameras are located?

it's civil, not criminal and doesn't go on your record. I have yet to see anyone successfully fight the school zone camera tickets.

Highway 78 in Grayson? If it’s there, they’ll nail you.

Ask them to prove that you are driving

Show up to traffic court with an attorney

$80 is cheap for a super speeder ticks, pay it and feel blessed.

Here's blanket advice for how stuff works in the US: have a lawyer to represent you in legal matters and have an accounting firm to represent you in tax matters. If you have representation, things just work differently.

Honestly, just pay it and be thankful it was a speed camera and not a criminal citation for 23 over which includes points on your license. Most courts don’t play when it comes to tickets involving school zones and school buses.

Unless it has changed recently should just be a civil fine and no issues with insurance company.
