NJ Speeding Ticket Blitz??

I would hire a lawyer to fight it.

The $1000 or so you might spend to fight the ticket will be less expensive, long term, than the increase you will likely pay with insurance. That goes double if you happen to have another incident like an accident or another ticket.

I know it sucks because, just because you hire a lawyer doesn't mean your going to win either. You might have to pay the ticket, get the points and pay the attorney.. But it's a chance I would take.

I dunno if any of y'all read my lil blurb in the Premier Section. VA doesn't even pace you. All they have to do is simply be driving by in the other direction, and then if you're a *hair* over the limit, they'll make a leisurely U-turn and come after you. I received 2 citations in 2 months in the same county, on the same road. And honestly, 67 in a rural 55 is just simply a budgeting issue.

Yep, that sounds like the way I'll have to go. I'm easing up on the gas pedal in the mean time. Seems like everywhere I look, troopers and local cops galore. In this economy, EVERYONE wants to put a hand in your pocket. New York, NJ, the MTA, the Port Authority, the airlines....even Santa Claus....
