[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former 17 year old here (now a lot older). DS should go in remorseful, and the judge will likely offer that if he takes and completes a defensive driving course, it will be wiped from his record. That's why the officer recommended it -- he knows that will happen.

Don't go in trying to fight the ticket. The judge is going to offer an "out" because of his age.

Added bonus: the course is mostly teenagers so he may find a prom date there.[/quote]

This is helpful, thank you.  Not looking to “fight” the ticket.  The police officer told him to go to court so he is going to court.  I just don’t know if they will expect him to speak at all or just stand there and take a good yelling.  He is extremely nervous and doesn’t want to do/say anything wrong.  [/quote]
He just needs to be respectful. “Yes, your Honor” And have a one sentence ready for “why” he was speeding how he’s corrected his behavior”. Simple answer “I didn’t realize the speed limit changed to 25 or I didn’t realize my speed was creeping up “ — NOT “I was looking at my phone or talking to a friend or just following the guys ahead of me”

The judge has a full docket/caseload to get through, he won’t spend more than 3 minutes on your case. [/quote]
