Depends if he shows up at the trial. Otherwise is up to the judge. Most of the smart ones will listen to only two words prior to you saying anything.

'Guilty' or 'Not Guilty'. The words 'with an explanation' are not in their vocabulary.

You say guilty, he'll listen to what you have to say prior to the money part. But you have to remember, everyone has a story. Everyone wuz robbed. You even know women that think Hillary's thighs aren't too thick. I mean, what planet are they from?

Long and the short of it, the officer wrote the wrong road or location? Isn't a judge out there that has not made a paper goof of some kind. The judge will likely feel sympathy for the officer.

The officer wrote the wrong date? OK, that's a goner. Wrong color or make of car? Maybe. Wrong plate, wrong name, maybe.

94 in a 70? The judge only has to say to you "How much over 70 were you really doing?" You are toast as soon as you say anything over 75. You say less than 75, he knows you are lying or under the influence.

The officer might have put in his written report that he was being gracious to you (knowing that he HAD TO ARREST you at 95). In some ways, the 94 is code to the judge that he gave you a break. In some states, you'd have been arrested and the car impounded at that speed.

I'd start looking into traffic schools, and get a haircut as well as a new suit for your appearance. If you are a gambling man, say 'Not Guilty', and hope the officer does not appear 3 months from now for trial. Gawd help you if he does.

Good Luck.
