So I just got my 4th ticket in about a year and about 3 months

I usually go about 10 over the posted speed limit when I drive. The freeway is the exception because I don't see a reason to go any faster than 70.

So basically, I speed every time I drive, yet I only get a ticket about once every 2 years. You say you've got 4 in just over a year - yet you don't speed every single time you drive. That dog don't hunt.

Here's a thought - why don't you get up to the speed limit, then set your cruise control. Sounds simple, but you would be surprised how much of a difference it makes. You naturally relax more when you're on cruise control, so you won't feel the need to drive like a bat out of hell.

I starting doing this while driving through Bellaire (where they pull you over for going 31 in a 30...) and now I try to do it all the time.

You would be suprised how much less stressful it is driving on cruise control. It's not just for long trips.

I employ this technique for school zones. I go about 5-8 mph over the speed limit most of the time, but **** it's hard slowing down in a school zone. Without cruise control, I can't physically slow myself down to 20, it's like 25 mph, lol.

Actually school zones are pretty easy for me. I am so paranoid about running over someone's kid so I am usually under the speed limit.

Got it for speeding. I was over 10mph. guy spotted me like 200 ft down got in the middle of the beltway feeder and told me to pull over. Stupid pasadena cops. Anyways, the ticket is 175, if I hire a lawyer to dismiss it it will be 50. I've already hired the Citizen firm to dismiss 1 speeding ticket and an accident where I rear ended this lady. I also hired them to dismiss another one that I have to be in court in January.

My question to ya'll is whether I should hire them again. Do I still have a good possibility of it being dismissed even though I've hired them 3 previous times already?

Thanks.

Classic

I would suggest to get another ticket attorney.

Then follow the rules.

Deferred adjudication does not include defensive driving. All it is is basically a way to pay the fine without it going on your record. You pony up the cash, be on your good behavior for the probationary period (in Harris county it's 3 months), and then the case is dismissed with prejudice (legalese for absolutely not guilty and expunged from your public record).

If you read what I wrote, it was pretty clear. Every court has different terms. Some include taking defensive driving as part of their terms of deferred adjudication. In fact, 4 out of the 5 counties that I did deferred adj. in required it. Granted, that was about 5 years ago now...but I wouldn't think that would have changed
