re: I apparently have to go to court for speeding in a school zone. 40 in 25.

May 6th. School was still in apparently.

I don't do traffic. You can always call the DAs office and talk to the traffic department, but if you take care of it outside of court it will go on your insurance.

yes
“When children are present”

Most schools have activities year around. Or a playground where children are often present.

Because state law says you have to.

Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 32, § 57

If cops can't show up, the state will just continue the trial if they really want to do the trial.

Insurance companies do not run mvr’s unless you’re in an at fault accident, add a driver, add collision to a new or existing auto. Don’t buy a new auto and keep your nose clean for 5 yrs and they will never look.
Got three speeding tickets one summer, 68/45 on pinnook required attendance in judge salooms court. Pled guilty and paid my fine.

Usually honesty will go really far with judges in these instances. They have so many cases to get through, and much more serious than simple speeding tickets (even in traffic court).

They put up with so much bullshite from trashy and ghetto people arguing with them for 90% of their day, they usually take it very easy on first timers that simply come and pay their dues and own up to their mistakes. I guarantee you that if you simply said "I wasn't aware the flashing sign that said ____ speed limit while children present applies while school is out, I'll be more careful in the future" you'll walk out with a non-moving violation in under 30 seconds

First day on the yard walk up and hit the biggest black dude you see, thats your only shot.
