How to fight a speeding ticket in Grand Rapids

You can increase the likelihood you will beat a Grand Rapids speeding ticket by having some knowledge and an experienced attorney. 

Your best approach to beating a Grand Rapids speeding citation begins when you first get the ticket.

• Do not argue with the officer.  Be respectful.  Do not admit guilt.

• Ask the officer where he was when he measured your speed, how he measured it, and what the speed measurement was.

• As soon as the officer leaves, write down:

• Precisely where you were when the officer observed you speeding

• Precisely where the officer was

• The location of any other vehicles between you and the officer

• The weather, traffic, and road conditions

• Any other unusual circumstances, such as if the highway runs right next to an airport
