So, I’m not legal expert, but here’s my take: I’ve had a couple of tickets in the past. If it’s just a speeding ticket, I just went to court with no lawyer. Especially for first offenses, the judge will usually let you go with driving school. You’ll pay the court fees and then for driving school.

It’s been a while for me though. I had a heavy foot when I was younger. Others might say it’s best to lawyer up, but that’s my experience.

Thanks! Do you remember if that affected your insurance rates at all or does the driving school allow the ticket to just be dismissed?

Yep! As long as you go to driving school, your record will be clean.
