[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7:02 here:  Of course it is in ones constitutional right to defend against a ticket.  But, we are talking about a ticket.  Use it as a learning experience.  And the reason to go to court is not to beat the ticket, but to hear what happens in traffic court.

My suggestion has nothing to do with techniques from less expenses, either in ticket or insurance, but rather to make him a safer driver.

When I was a teen (and not all are like me, of course), I drove fast.  It was going to court after my second ticket (first, mom was in the car, and she admitted she would have gotten it too) and I heard what was going on....everyone guilty, the severity of the sentences (usually DUI), etc.  For me, I realized the potential impact, and slowed down.  That was 30 years ago, and I remember it like it was yesterday.

Things are very different these days. Insurance can be dropped instantly on a 17 year with that speed ratio, not to mention he is male so it is already going to mean higher rates. Going to court could be a good experience for him, but at the cost of the points on his license or a judge with a point to prove. A lawyer would settle this before the court date with no points and no damage to his record. [/quote]
