How we defend speeding ticket cases in Linglestown.

  • Challenge radar & lidar calibration

    PA law requires station-approved radar/lidar with current calibration certificates. Missing or stale calibration = motion to dismiss.

  • Attack VASCAR & pacing

    VASCAR requires officer certification and a measured course. Pacing needs a documented pacing distance — often not in the citation packet.

  • Reduce 6-point speeds to non-point

    31+ mph over is 5 points; 26–30 is 4 points; 16–25 is 3. We routinely negotiate reductions to §3111 obedience to traffic control (2 points) or a non-point equipment offense.

  • Protect CDL holders

    15+ mph over is a federal 'serious traffic violation' under 49 CFR §383.51. Two in 3 years = 60-day CDL disqualification even in a personal vehicle.

  • Fight construction & school-zone doublers

    Fines double in active work zones (§3365) and school zones. Prosecution must prove the zone was active — that fails more often than you'd expect.

  • Trial by MDJ, not plea by mail

    Officers don't always show. When they do, cross-examination on training records and equipment logs often shifts the negotiation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Common questions about speeding ticket in Linglestown, PA — courts, points, penalties, and defense.

  • Traffic citations in Linglestown are filed with the Dauphin County magisterial district court whose district covers the location of the stop; the court is printed on your citation. Summary appeals go to the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas at the Dauphin County Courthouse on Market Street in Harrisburg.

  • 6–10 mph over = 2 points. 11–15 = 3 points. 16–25 = 4 points. 26–30 = 5 points. 31+ = 5 points plus a mandatory PennDOT departmental hearing under § 1538(a), where the examiner may impose up to a 15-day suspension. An automatic 15-day suspension under § 1535(e) is reserved for speeding convictions in an active work zone (§ 3326.1); school-zone and work-zone speeding also carry doubled fines.

  • Almost always — even a single 3-point citation typically raises rates for 3 years. That's often more than the ticket itself. Fighting the ticket down to a non-point offense usually prevents the surcharge from ever hitting.

  • Yes, and often. Pennsylvania only allows radar and lidar operated by the State Police (municipalities are stuck with VASCAR, ENRADD, and pacing). Calibration certificates, officer training records, and the exact equipment used are all discoverable — and mistakes are common.

  • You can plead not guilty and request a summary trial in front of the magisterial district judge. In many cases we can appear on your behalf, negotiate with the officer before the hearing, or resolve the case entirely by mail.

  • The Dauphin County magisterial district court whose district covers where you were stopped. The court's name and address are printed on your citation. A summary appeal after conviction goes to the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas at the Dauphin County Courthouse on Market Street in Harrisburg.
