As a professional traffic violator I know this much:

Your actual speed IS written on the ticket circled.

You CAN beat it. By technicality,improperly filled out for example.Also if the officer representing the department from which the ticket was issued doesn't show it can be dismissed.You can also plead guilty with explanation,wife in hospital for example and have it dismissed.

Best bet:Either pay the $75 or cite your good driving record when in court. No matter which you choose since you let it get to the point where you'll have to be in court the judge can assess court costs either way and the costs will be more than the ticket.

Shoulda just mailed in the $75.
