Speeding Ticket in Lynnwood, Washington

[berryberry101]

My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: Washington

I just received the speeding ticket 2 days ago in Lynnwood. I was speeding 50mph on a 35mph-limit road. The officer told me I could go to court and get it deferred as this is my first ticket since I got the first one 8 years ago. My friends told me I should check "mitigation hearing" option and send the ticket to the court, then I can ask for deferral at court.

But on this forum, I found there would be a chance to get it dismissed.

Could you give me advice what would be the best way for me? My biggest concern is getting it off record, and also money.

I'm a little worried about talking with judge as I'm a girl from outside of U.S. and my English is not good enough to discuss this complicated matter (normal conversation is fine).

Thank you in advance!

As you know, if you qualify for a deferral, you can ask for a deferral and (if you don't get another ticket) ultimately get a dismissal.

What other basis for a dismissal are you contemplating?
