Any way to get out of a speeding ticket where they caught you on radar?

Doesn't sound like you have a good case to argue. Rain has no effect on radar. If the traffic was light, the officer will be able to provide strong testimony.

The law does require the officer to provide proof of his training along with calibration records for the radar, but these are readily available at the department, and that argument is rarely successful.

Your best bet may be to see if they offer any diversionary programs such as traffic school, community service, or teen court.

You may want to talk to your parents first about challenging your citation. If you lose, or do it wrong, you could end up worse off than just paying the ticket and attending traffic school.

However, if you are determined to be a jail-house lawyer; speeding can be argued by challenging the certification date of the radar unit (when is was last calibrated), or by challenging the officers formal training and certification to use the unit.

The better path would be to plead for mercy and relief of your parent's finances before the court, go to traffic school, and learn to disconnect your hormones from the gas pedal.

Cars are deadly weapons and should be handled with the same care and respect as a loaded gun!

The worst case scenario would be getting found guilty of both charges. Big fine for the speeding, smaller fine for the seat belt violation, and of course points on your license for the speeding.

The best scenario you could hope for is ... the worst case! The prosecution has plenty of evidence to convict you of both charges, you have no valid defense. "Rushing back home to your friend" is no excuse for 20 mph over the limit.

I'd make sure your parents know about the ticket (I'd guess that you haven't told them the news yet).

Think about this ... 45 mph in a heavily populated residential zone. What would have happened if a child ran in front of your car? Would watching the child bounce off your bumper on their way to the pavement slow you down the next time you drove?

Very doubtful. If you were doing 19 over in a residential zone and you know you were, with light traffic, and no seat belt, you are going to have to pay these tickets. Since they are BOTH moving violations, you can expect to see your insurance rates rocket up for three years. You would have gotten a small break on your insurance when you turned 18, but that might be in jeopardy now.

Sorry, but you're going to have to pay the tickets.

P.S. While you're at it, get familiar with the bus system where you live...you're gonna need it, with a driving record like you're piling up.

Its difficult to prove under cloudy evidence but as you stated, there was light traffic so the possibility he picked up someone else is minimal. 19 Over is going to get you points on your license, if you want to get out of the points you should hire an attorney not to fight the case but to plead down the crime. Its going to be more expensive to hire the attorney than to just pay but you could get rid of any possible points you might get which wouldn't jack up your insurance which I'm sure it would otherwise because you are only 16 and I suppose on a provisional license.

YOU ARE OFF TO A GREAT START tell your parents higher insurance rates are on the way get ready for a huge fine might want to tell them that alsoyou might have to go to defensive driving ,court ordered. 8 months 2 tickets ain't bad and trying to figure out how to beat it already at that rate you wont be driving long start checking out the bicycle section and tell your parents you want a new bicycle for christmas HAPPY CYCLING

Worst case scenario, you don't learn how to drive like a decent member of society and kill innocent motorists.

What is your argument genius? You are guilty. There is no excuse you could give that would change that.

So to answer:

No.

The officer got you on radar,therefore there is no point in arguing the ticket.And if you do decide to fight it in court(pretty stupid),then you'll lose.
