RE: Retraction of speeding ticket number NUMBER

Dear Name of Judge:

This letter is a formal request to appeal a speeding ticket I received on DATE. My name and address are above and the ticket number is NUMBER.

​The license plate of my car is NUMBER. I received the ticket on Name of Street for driving 40 mph in a 25 mph zone. I agree I was driving over the speed limit and that the officer was right to give me the ticket.

I have driven that street for 15 years and was not aware the speed limit had been lowered. The new speed limit sign is not easy to see as it is partially covered by the sign of a local restaurant. I have enclosed a photograph of the sign. 


This is my first speeding ticket as I am a very careful driver. I am sorry for having driven too fast and would never have done so if I had seen the new speed limit sign. I humbly request that the ticket be retracted because it will cause my insurance premium to be raised, which I cannot afford.

My younger brother and I are orphans, and I am raising him on my salary alone. I am willing to enroll in a defensive driving course if this will help with my request. 


Thank you for taking the time to consider my request to have the speeding ticket retracted. I can be reached at Phone Number or at Email Address. 

Sincerely,
​
