My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: Oregon
Just got a traffic citation in the mail for supposedly having exceeded the speed limit supposedly from one of those parked photo radar vans. This is our first experience with a speeding ticket and I was wondering:
1. Is there a way to get the court date postponed (we're going to be out of town that day)? How do we do that?
2. Is there any possibility of success fighting one of these automated tickets when no cop was present? The more I read about this the more it appears to be a scam with some private outfit owning the camera installations and operating “on behalf” of the city.
3. Is there a location where the OR ticket rates are mapped to excess mph over the posted speed limit (I googled this without luck). The ticket of 240+ for 11 over seems a tad excessive...
4. Do automated tickets count against the driving record (in other words do they affect insurance)?
