    Speeding Ticket With a Mandatory Court Appearance
    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: MO. I was stopped by a state trooper in MO for excessive speeding. I was clocked at 84mph in a 55. Since this falls into the bracket of 26mph+ I am required to appear in court. I am 18 years old and also have a CDL drivers permit.
    My question is would it be better to pay the fines or to contest the ticket? There’s not much evidence to argue the ticket. I am just interested in keeping points off my license to avoid having my CDL permit revoked.

    If you want to keep the points off of your record, obviously you will want to contest the ticket. If you hold and want to protect a CDL license, you should consult a lawyer about possible defenses -- you have shared nothing here that suggests a defense.

    I was clocked by a radar gun on an incline. However there were no other cars around that would have thrown off the radar’s accuracy. I couldn’t think of any real defenses against it. If I were to contest, how likely would it be to succeed with such little defense?

    If you can afford it now, contact an attorney. Otherwise, I unfortunately predict you'll pay for this later.
