SPEEDING 20-141 This is the most common offense that we handle.  How difficult it is to handle a speeding charge normally depends on your driving record, what the speed limit was and how fast above the speed limit you were traveling.   For instance, if you were speeding less than 15 mph above the speed limit then most district attorneys will reduce the charge to 9 mph above the speed limit which will not affect your insurance if you have not received a traffic ticket in the last three years.   However, if you were speeding 20 mph or more above the speed limit then your license could be revoked and most district attorneys are reluctant to reduce these charges.
