Speeding Tickets

Speeding tickets are the most common tickets issued in and around Tampa and Hillsborough County. Nearly three million traffic tickets were issued in Florida in 2017, and more than 651,000 of those tickets were for speeding. Punishment includes a large fine and three or more points against your driver’s license. These tickets are issued under a wide range of circumstances like driving over the posted limit, driving over the limit in a school or senior zone or a construction zone. Like everybody else, you don’t want to have to go to court, pay a fine and a surcharge or attend traffic school. That’s why you’ll want to speak with a Tampa speeding ticket lawyer from the Florida Ticket Firm about your Tampa area speeding ticket. The last thing that we want to see you do is waste your time and money.

Our Approach

Speed limits are in place for the safety of people who are on or about our roadways. That’s because the faster you go, the higher the chances are that you’ll get into a serious accident. Speeding tickets are also a source of income for the state, counties and various municipalities. Fines, surcharges and substantially higher insurance premiums translate into money out of your pocket though. Here’s how we approach speeding tickets on behalf of our clients.

No Points and No Premium Increases

When you contact us, we’re going to confirm that you are seeking our help. Then, we’re going to need a copy of your speeding ticket. It’s going to be scrutinized for any possible errors that might result in a dismissal. After that, we’re going to speak with you and advise you on how to proceed. Assuming that there are no errors or omissions on your ticket, we will look at some other factors like the type of system that your speed was clocked with.

Types of Speed Measurement Devices in Florida

Florida uses five different ways of measuring a motorist’s speed. Some are more accurate than others, but all of them have their own shortcomings. Our Tampa speeding ticket defense attorneys are well aware of those shortcomings. All traffic patrol officers must be specifically trained in any of the ways that he or she will rely on to write a speeding ticket. A variety of challenges to any method that was used to ticket you might result in either a speeding ticket being dismissed or a driver being found not guilty in a trial. Here are the devices in Florida that are used to determine a motorist’s speed:

• Radar
• VASCAR.
• Laser Speed Detectors.
• Pacing a vehicle from behind.
• By using an airplane and stop watch.

Trials

With any trial comes risk. A judge can find you guilty, and there go those points along with your insurance rate. We want to eliminate risk. Here’s how we are often able to do that.

When the Prosecution has a Solid Case Against You

When there’s a high likelihood that the case against you can’t be dismissed and a low likelihood of prevailing in a trial, we’ll probably recommend that a plea of no contest be entered in return for withholding of an adjudication of guilt. That translates into no points being deducted from your driver’s license and no adverse insurance rate consequences. You won’t even need to waste a half a day going to court. We’ll notify you of the outcome. Then, we’ll give you instructions on how to pay your fine. We do that for the majority of our speeding ticket clients. They don’t have to be in court. We attend court on their behalf.
