Plead not guilty and send in the fine money.

You will get a letter telling you when the hearing will be.

Option #1

Try to keep re-scheduling the hearing as many times as you can get away with.
The officer will also have to keep re-scheduling and may not show up.

Option #2

Go to the hearing. ADMIT YOU WERE SPEEDING. However, admit you were guilty of 30 in a 25 not 40. If they accept your plea, the township will still get their $$$ which is really all they want anyway, you will get no points and the State will not even become involved. I have done this successfully many times. It is refreshing to them that someone actually admits they were speeding instead of the same lame excuses they hear day in and day out. They know they will still get their $$$ and they may just cut you a break for trying to be “honest”.

Most times in these small towns, they will just make the offer to you before starting the hearing. They are mainly looking for the $$. I’ve been to many hearings where I got there for a 10am hearing & there were 50 people in the waiting room for a 10 am hearing. They just walk you in, offer you a “pay the fine & get no points” option & you say yes or no. Sometimes you even get money back because it is a lower fine.

DO NOT wait past the 10 days to plead not guilty/send the money in & let them send you a letter. This usually does away with your options.
