So have him take the driver improvement course and go to court?  I don't know how to "fix" it as best as I can.  This happened in Fairfax County.  
DS has an otherwise clean record. Who knows what actually happened, but I don't think the officer was doing DS any favors (as a pp suggested) as this stretch of road is all 35mph and oddly goes to 25 for a bit.  It's a known speed trap location but a new road to DS (who took a wrong turn in a fork in the road . . . ).   The officer also didn't offer to show the speed on radar (is that required or a myth?) and DS called me right after the ticket was issued and said the officer said he was going 40 mph but when DS got home and I read the ticket, it said 44 (DS said no one ever said 44).  All of this is not good for anything, but just background to why I think the officer wasn't doing any favors.  [/quote]
If all of these things are true and you have time, go to court about the ticket. My experience in traffic court (in DC and TX) has been that they just want you out, so it's not hard to get tickets reduced/revoked. If the officer was misleading or giving false info, your son is a new driver and there's some course he can take that will lessen the impact of the ticket.[/quote]
