I live in Philly but received a speeding ticket in NJ for going 20mph over the posted limit. I'm wondering what my best course of action should be? If I go to court and plead not guilty, what are my chances of getting the fine reduced and getting the points taken off my driving record? Would the points even matter if Im a PA resident?

You can always go to court and speak to the prosecutor. You have to 1st plead not guilty to have a day in court. your chances are 50/50 at this point.

Thanks Sarge.
I did some research. It seems that since I live in philly the points from this ticket wouldn't carry over to my record.
