What should I do about a Delaware speeding ticket while I have my Maryland provisional license?

I am currently 18 years old on a Maryland provisional license. In December 2015, I received a 6-month probation before judgement for speeding 87mph in a 55 (which ends on June 22). This reset my provisional period by another 18 months starting in December. Today (6/10/16), I received a speeding ticket in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for going 44 in a 25. I understand that since this is an out of state ticket, the points will not transfer. I plan to wait until after June 22 before taking action on this ticket, so that any outcome will not affect my existing probation. Should I pay the fine on the Delaware ticket or go to court? Would having a Delaware traffic lawyer help? Also, how will this affect my provisional license consequences (would an out of state outcome of guilty for this speeding ticket result in the 30 day provisional suspension?)

Traffic Lawyer Richard Simon’s Answer

Hire a good Delaware attorney and get these matters settled. See if the Delaware attorney(hopefully licensed in Maryland too) can even get your previous matter removed by vacating the guilty plea. You are 18 years old and I would bet dollars to donuts that your insurance is sky high and about to go up.

Speeding Ticket KC

Ready to clean up your Missouri driving record?

We serve drivers across the entire KC metro — Jackson, Clay, Platte, Cass, and Johnson counties. You do not need to appear in court or visit the DOR in person. We handle everything remotely.

Call (816) 398-8772 or use the contact form on this page for a free consultation. We will review your full driving record, tell you exactly what can be removed, and give you a flat-fee quote before you decide anything.

If your ticket is recent and you have not yet been convicted, we may be able to fight it in court before it ever reaches your record — which is always the better outcome when that option is still available.

Driving Record Analysis

We pull your Missouri driving record and review it in detail, noting any suspended license issues, outstanding tickets, or points that may be eligible for removal. We send you a copy of the record with analysis of what is on it.

Ticket Removal & Purge

We have the original ticket set aside by the court and amended to a non-moving violation. For older tickets (3+ years), we contact the Department of Revenue and have them purged from your record.
