(Iu2019m not a lawyer, this is not legal advice)I donu2019t live in Georgia, so Iu2019m not sure what youu2019d pay for a ticket. But Iu2019m cynical from all my years of driving, and those years of experience tell me you basically are looking at four options:If you are sure you were not speeding (that is, you were driving 35 mph or slower) and you are sure you can convince the judge of that, then fighting the ticket is an option, but you need to be able to previdence to support your claim. Fair or not, if the officer shows up and says you were speeding, the burden of proof will be on you,If you were speeding but believe the officer wonu2019t show up in court on the appearance date, you might show up and hope for a dismissal. But if you show up without a lawyer, you will most likely be looking at either a reschedule of the trial or if the officer shows up, youu2019re screwed,If you show up and ask to take Defensive Driving (not usually allowed unless you were driving less than 15 mph over the limit, which for a 35 mph limit means driving 51 mph or less), the court may allow it, in which case you still have to pay for the course but your insurance wonu2019t be dinged by having a violation on your record,If you show up and the officer does not, many times the court clerk will offer to let you pay a reduced u201ccourt costsu201d fee and have the ticket dismissed. In this situation, that looks to me like your best option. It means paying some money, but avoids having it on your record and would be less than the full fine amount.Good luck.
