What not to say in traffic court?
Never admit guilt. Motorists will often testify that they were speeding but not as fast as the police officer claims.
This constitutes an admission to speeding and traffic court judges generally will believe the police officer over you. Be respectful, dress decently and try and poke holes in the officer's recollection of the case.
