It's a motion asking a judge to re-open your case so that a different result may be entered. It can only be filed once, so if you submit a motion and it's denied, that's it. You'd essentially have to argue that had you sought counsel to assist you with this matter, the outcome would have been different.

A 24 mph over the speed limit conviction will show on your driver history record with the DMV/DOT. Seek local counsel to see if you have any options.
