Options are to dispute the recorded speed while admitting some speeding, or to deny the allegation entirely. Both paths usually require a hearing or trial where testimony and evidence are reviewed. Attendance is required unless a lawyer is permitted to appear on the driver’s behalf, depending on the court and case type.
