If its his first ticket he could ask for a Civil penalty. If you don't know what that is...then its where the judge can allow him to have a civil penalty and if he don't get into any trouble for around 6months then it don't go on his record.D He would still have to pay....and im not saying your kid is lying....but chances are he was speeding.! But Even going 60 he was still speeding...if your state is like ours we a get a 5mph leway but can still get pulled over if the cop really wants to give you a ticket. Its very hard to fight a speeding ticket..and given he is what prolly under 18.. and the fact he didn't question the cops raider right then and there...then it would be a waste of time.id your wife just put bigger rims/tire on her car? I know in my corolla I had I went from like 15's to 18's and my tack was off by around 9mph...If I was you I would just have him ask for the civil penalty.
