My son ( 22years old) got a speeding ticket in an ajoining state (Kentucky) last month. 87mph in a 65mph zone.<br />The officer did not have the "proper" speeding ticket form to give him and just gave him a notice of "violation" paper. Told my son he was out of tickets.<br /> He gets a notice from our home state that his driver's license will be suspended in 60 days if the fine is not taken care of.<br />On the paper the officer gave him the date of offense was 9/11/2005 and the court appearance date was 9/09/2005. How can he show up to court 2 days prior to getting a ticket? Is this enough of an error to have the matter overturned?<br />Pay the fine (don't even know how much as that was not specified) or get a local lawyer in the county and state of offense?<br />It's about 150 miles from where we live and he's in college another 180 miles further north.<br />He accepts that he was speeding but there seems to be enough "technical" errors here to have it dismissed or is he wrong about that.<br />What should he do?
