Giving a ticket for going 41 in a school zone, can I get the fee decrease since this is my first ticket?Hello, I live in Georgia, and received my first ticket ever because I was doing 41 in a school zone, which was 25.

It is up to the officer to give you a ticket or a warning. Now that you have a ticket you can try to appeal. It is going to up to the judge, but the judge could reduce the fine also.

Aside from speaking with the officer and judge, the prosecutor in your case might be willing to reduce the charge in exchange for a guilty plea.

An attorney familiar with the policies and procedures of the court will know the likelihood of negotiating such a resolution given the circumstances of your case.
It would be worth your while to consult with a traffic attorney familiar with the judges and practices in the court where you received the ticket to explore your options. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details. Good luck to you. God bless. NOTE: This answer is made available by the lawyer for educational purposes only.
