Getting a speeding ticket in the state of Pennsylvania is not uncommon. In fact, in 2013, Pennsylvania wrote the second highest number of traffic tickets over every other state in the country. While this can partly be explained because of the nearly 13 million people living in and driving around the state, with many of them living in heavily populated cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, it is still a staggering number of traffic tickets and increases the likelihood of you getting a traffic ticket as a driver in Pennsylvania.

Sometimes, speeding even happens by accident, such as when you are going down a hill and pick up momentum. In many ways, speeding is so common than many people forget that it is considered a traffic offense, especially because radar detectors are legal to use in Pennsylvania. Speeding has almost become part of everyday driving. However, this is not always the case. Police officers can make mistakes when running radar or when pulling someone over. The radar gun itself could have been improperly maintained and malfunctioned as a result.

While these are all excellent defenses that can help you in your speeding ticket hearing, they are extremely difficult to prove if you try to represent yourself. This is where an experienced Pennsylvania speeding ticket lawyer will be of invaluable assistance. Your attorney will have access to records and documents that will clearly demonstrate that the radar gun malfunctioned or got a false reading, that the sign was hidden from view, that the speed trap was set up unfairly, or even that the police officer was not properly trained to use the radar gun. This evidence will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you deserve to have your penalties reduced or your ticket dismissed altogether and is much more effective than simply your word against the word of the police officer. Your lawyer will also know the best ways to argue your case before the judge and how to present you in a favorable light, even if this is not your first traffic ticket.

We also know that the money you will save by avoiding expensive fines, surcharges, and increased insurance premiums are well worth the minimal fees of working with an experienced speeding ticket lawyer.
