SPEEDING TICKET AMENDMENT

A speeding ticket amendment - what does that mean? Is having my ticket amended or "fixed" legal or ethical?

Sometimes an attorney or even the owner of the ticket can convince a prosecutor to amend a ticket. Many prosecutors will agree to amend certain speeding tickets and other minor violations to non-moving violations as a matter of judicial economy.

The idea is that if all defense attorneys were to take their defendant's cases to trial on their speeding tickets, the courts would be so full of trials that not only would more prosecutors and judges have to be hired, but more courthouses have to be built to hear all the trials.

The ticket might be amended to defective equipment, defective muffler, or illegal parking, which are considered non-moving violations and should not appear on your driving record, nor influence your insurance rates.

Sometimes a prosecutor will agree to lower the speed written on the ticket to a speed that is not considered a moving violation. Any of these options may accomplish the goal of reducing the charge to a non-moving violation, but it is entirely dependant on the state you are licensed in, which jurisdiction you received the ticket in, and often your driving history.

Having a moving violation amended (changed) is an often a better option than pleading guilty or no-contest to a charge.

Overall, speeding ticket amendment saves you time and generally money in the long-run; while keeping your driving record clean.
