Should I go to court over a speeding ticket in Virginia?
Paying a speeding ticket is essentially pleading guilty to the offense of speeding. If you believe that you were not speeding, you have the option of going to court to plead “not guilty”. During this court hearing, you will be able to explain your case. You'll also hear testimony from the officer who issued you the ticket. Really, it’s up to each individual person whether or not going to court is worth it to respond to a speeding ticket.
