Can we contest a speeding ticket which was given on a basis of observation only. How are the chances of win?

ticket do sometime make ur insurance go up but you can contest it if you dont win all you have to do is pay the ticket

not worth the time and effort, it is cheaper to pay the fine, unless of course you have plenty of time and money.

Were you speeding? If you contest the ticket, you are saying you were not speeding, which is a lie if you were. What does your driving record look like without that ticket? If it's spotless, the judge will probably dismiss it. Otherwise, you will probably lose, based on your previous record. In the future, know the limits and set your cruise control.

if your lucky enough to win,,it wont affect your insurance none,,in some cases the officer who issued it,,wont show up,,in these cases the judge makes a decision based on the evidence,since observation,,is not considered legal proof,you might win,,but,,if the officer has been on the force for a long time,,and has a good track record,,the judge may rule,,against anyway,,i have known a few people that have actually proven their case,,but you have to be level headed,,and very convincing,,the judge usually makes his decision based on your answer,s,,when the officer does,nt show for the hearing,,and what ever you do don't lie,,tell the truth,,and if your real lucky he might dismiss it,,i hope you luck.

contest it.......usually the cop doesn't show anyway, and even if he does.......eyesight really doesn't weigh alot in the judges eyes......i beat mine

Take it to court...chances are the cop won't even show up since it's minor.

The chances of you winning aren't all that great.. i'd suggest just paying the fine and higher insurance.

Officers are pretty good at gaging how fast someone is going. Its their job. I wouldn't count on arguing your way out of it that way. BUT If you go to court to contest the ticket your chances of winning are pretty good if the officer doesn't show up for the hearing. Whether or not your insurance rates will be affected depends on the insurance company. Usually one offense is not a problem. You should ask your insurance company how long a speeding ticket stays on your record. Usually its 5 years. It's not clear to me whether or not you were speeding. I understand that you want to get out of paying the ticket and having it on your record. Who wouldn't? You need to consider your driving habits as well. Typically someone who gets a ticket has pushed the limits from time to time. I went through a period of time in my early 20's where I was almost impossible to insure because of speeding tickets. I am a much more responsible driver today. Think through carefully what you will say to the judge if you decide to contest the ticket.
