Got a ticket in the 55 mph zone just east of Breezewood…was clocked going 83 in a 55 EEK but he only **wrote me a ticket for 61 in a 55…**. Can I go to court and request defensive driving school? Do they even do this in PA? Is it worth it for me to drive all the way back out there or not? Or should I just pay it and be done w/ it? My record is clean other wise. Thanks 🙂 ---

[http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms/fact\_sheets/pub472.pdf](http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms/fact_sheets/pub472.pdf) 2 point for 6-10 mph over. Probably still not worth driving back out. Sounds like he cut you a break with the 6 over ticket. And those points will go away in 12 months automatically. ---

Because the officer cut you a break on the spot the judge can reinstate the 83 in a 55 if he doesn’t like what you have to say. I would pay it! ---

As I said in my reply, I’m paying it, check went out in the mail already today 🙂 Not like I’d be arguing w/ the judge anyhow, I’m a pretty mature level headed woman, which is probably why the cop cut me a break in the first place lol…I acted like an adult 😉 How would the judge know how fast I was really going anyhow? Ticket says 61…:dunno: ---

Ticket says 61…:dunno: Because the officer prob took notes on the traffic stop, and filed them in his daily report. If you were to contest the ciatation the officier would pull the notes and the judge would review them. Then he would know the original offense. ---

I would pay it! false. you’ve been offically charged with 61 in a 55. no matter what the judge thinks about what you say he can NOT charge you for 83 in a 55 you could drive out there and plead guilty to a lesser charge but the cop already helped you out. Could go either way. they might think your sincere for driving all the way out there and just tell them your extremely sorry. Offer to stay a night and wash their firetrucks and police cars the next day. that beats paying fines and getting points 🤣 ---

At this point you haven’t been convicted yet it is his decision to charge you with what ever he wants. Weather it be for the speed indicated or reckless driving. the judge can not find you guilty of 90 in a 65mph zone when your in fighting a ticket for a 71 in 65mph zone. Its not allowed. what are they going to do? write you another ticket for 90 in a 65 and rip up the other one? the judge CAN drop, or reduce the fines, points, charge, etc. but he CAN NOT jack them up higher… your missing the point… what your saying pretty much means ( for example ) that a judge can charge you guilty of 6 over, but instead of 2 points he’s going to give you 4 because he doesnt like you. It doesnt work like that ---
