No, the judge presides, he doesn't ask that sort of question. It's up to you. Maybe, if you're really concerned, you should ask a lawyer. Many will give free short consultations. -- Bill Funk Change "g" to "a" |

Different cities have different agendas for speeding (& other particular driving offences). In Glendale, AZ, a few years ago, 20 over got you an immediate trip to jail, and a very stiff fine (over $500). They were trying to cut speeding on some major streets where there was a serious problem with crashes. -- Bill Funk Change "g" to "a" |
