Fighting a Speeding ticket
I got a ticket a few weeks ago in Hills. County, and I was wondering if anyone here has ever fought one. I really don't epect to win, but how much do court costs come to? I don't know how it works in Hills. county, so should I even attempt to fight it. I almost want to just because I have never fought one before.

Well this was in Lake County, but I fought one. I was ticketed for 72 in a 55. I went to court and they showed the judge the reading from the radar and the last time it was calibrated. I just told him I saw the sheriff coming towards me and naturally I looked at my speedo & it said I was going 65. He said since I was honest enough to admit to speeding that he'll cut it in half and change it to violation of traffic control device. I ended up only having to pay $75. It also depends on if the cop even shows up. If not then you win!
