A speeding ticket isn't a bill. It's a multi-year mistake.

You see the fine and pay it to make it go away. But in almost every state, paying is a guilty plea — and the fine is the smallest part of what it costs you.

It's not a $150 ticket. It can be a $1,500–$4,000 mistake over 3 years.

The court fine is just the visible part. The real damage is your insurance — and a conviction on your record for years.

+30–45%
Typical car-insurance increase after one speeding conviction — for years.
3–5 yrs
How long a speeding conviction can stay on your record and keep insurance elevated (varies by state).
Points
Most states add points; enough of them (often ~12) can suspend your license — thresholds vary by state.
Fines are commonly doubled in work zones and school zones — a routine ticket can cost double.

The part most drivers don't see coming

🧾
Even the fine is inflatedThe "base" fine is small — state court surcharges, fees and assessments often multiply it several times over, before you've even counted insurance.
💼
It follows you to workAny job that checks your driving record — delivery, rideshare, trucking, a company car, a CDL — can see the conviction and the points.
🚨
High speed is a different beastIn several states, going 20+ over (or 80+ mph) is charged as reckless driving — a criminal misdemeanor, not a simple infraction. Get an attorney for those.

Everyone else just pays — without ever checking whether the speeding case is even provable. The whole case rests on how the officer measured your speed. Check that first, and you might wipe out the whole ticket.

A few of the 34 things we have you check

Sorted by how your speed was measured — because the defense that wins a radar ticket is useless on a pacing ticket. The kit tells you which is which. Same physics in all 50 states.

!
Radar reliability
Ask for the calibration / tuning-fork records and operator training — and check for the cosine (angle) error, beam width and radio-frequency interference.
!
LIDAR target ID
Distance, line of sight and panning error — and whether the officer locked your vehicle, not a cluster of cars.
!
Were you paced?
Demand the patrol car's speedometer calibration — and don't waste a word on radar defenses (they don't apply to pacing).
!
Estimate vs. device
A visual estimate is not the same evidence as a confirmed device reading. Separate the two — it changes your whole argument.
!
Your state sets the process
There's no universal "fight by mail." The kit gives you the verified next step and the official .gov source for your exact state.
!
Paying = pleading guilty
In nearly every state, paying the fine admits the violation and adds the points. Don't pay if you intend to contest.

Is this kit for your ticket?

We'd rather you know before you buy. Here's exactly what it does — and doesn't — cover.

This kit IS for you if…
  • You got an officer-issued speeding ticket in any U.S. state — radar, LIDAR, pacing, or visual
  • You want to handle it yourself — without paying for a lawyer
  • You want to understand your options and your state's official process
  • You still have time before the due date on your citation
  • You want to keep the points off your record and protect your insurance
This kit is NOT for…
  • Speed-camera / photo-radar tickets — often civil, with a different appeal
  • Parking citations — a separate administrative process
  • DUI, reckless driving or other misdemeanors — get an attorney
  • A ticket you've already paid — paying is a guilty plea
  • Anyone wanting a guaranteed outcome — no honest kit can promise that

Your deadline is on the ticketFind the due date on your citation and put it in your calendar today. Everything depends on acting before it — miss it and you usually lose the right to contest.
Paying is a guilty pleaIn almost every state, paying the fine admits the violation and adds the points. If there's any chance you'll contest, don't pay first.

The case lives in how they measured your speedRadar and LIDAR can be challenged on calibration and target ID; pacing and visual estimates have their own weak points. Find it, and you have a real argument.
Why not just Google it for free?

Your deadline's already ticking — and this isn't just a fine, it's points and years of higher insurance. Don't burn that time in conflicting Google advice that may be for the wrong state.

Almost nothing to loseContesting is your right, and in most states you're not penalized for it — if you don't win, you generally pay what you would have paid anyway, and you can often still ask about traffic school or diversion.

Real questions, straight answers

Is it even worth contesting — or will I just lose money?

Contesting is your right and in most states you're not penalized for using it. If you don't win, you generally pay what you would have paid anyway — and you can often still ask about traffic school or diversion. The upside is keeping the conviction and the insurance hike off your record.

I'm not a lawyer and I'm busy — is this hard?

It's plain English: about 20 minutes to run the checklist for your ticket, then you follow the verified next step for your state. No legal background needed.

Does every state let me fight by mail?

No — that varies by state. Some allow a written declaration or a contest by mail; others require an appearance. The kit tells you exactly what your state allows and links the official page to confirm it.

What if it doesn't help me?

There's a 14-day money-back guarantee. If the kit isn't useful to you, just email us for a refund — no hassle.

Is this legal advice?

No — it's educational and informational, and we're not a law firm. For advice about your specific case, consult an attorney licensed in your state.
