    Just a thought.
    I agree. My driving record has been spotless since I got my DL about 20 yrs ago. Following the speed limit is usually my mode of driving, but I was careless last Friday night.

    I have a lawyer friend in another state. He told me that traffic attorneys typically charges $100-200 to fix a simple ticket like this (esp. first ticket). DUI or other violations that results in suspended license will cost a lot more.

    add the $1-200 for the atty to the $80-200 for court. If you're that smart to drive the speed limit, you "should" be smart enough to handle it on your own.
    It's a ticket. one way or the other you will be paying something. once you come to accept it, life is easier.

    Of course the denial from CBI on your next gun purchase might cause some issues
    My bad this is still CO, not CA or NY, YET

    LOL. Oh yes, I know I will pay some fines. I am inclined to handle this myself after learning how the system works from others here. But having a backup plan is not so bad, is it?

    Never bad to have a back up plan, if it was some issue that would affect your DL, or freedom. You first ever ticket, not so much

    Regarding the WCSO writing the ticket, and it needing to be done in some town. A lot of smaller towns have the county sheriffs handle their LE coverage, versus footing the bill them self.

    If a simple 13-over speeding ticket can garnish this much bandwidth, just think what we might be able to achieve with a good 9-vs-45 debate!

    Perhaps, but which one would be a better investment, being my first caliber decision and all.

    I went in to fight a ticket I got in Greeley because there were two additional 'safety' fees added to the ticket in addition to the actual fine for speeding. Went from a $105 speeding ticket to a $185 total cost. Well, once I was there I was plead down to 1 point from 4 but had to pay the full fine plus an additional court costs. So the whole thing ended up costing me $225 if I remember right. It was 4 or 5 years ago.
