I lost my speeding ticket trial, can I appeal ?

If your speeding ticket trial was unsuccessful, you may have grounds to ask the courts to review the decision.  

Time Limits for Appeal

You have 30 days from the date of your sentence to file a legal form called a Notice of Appeal. You will need to file this at the Supreme Court nearest to where you were convicted. Be mindful of this date as court registries vary in how they accept filings and you may need to attend the court registry in person. 

If you are not able to make this first deadline, you will need to ask the court for an extension of time to appeal. You will  need a good explanation of why you were late in filing the Notice of Appeal. It is up to a judge to decide whether to grant the extension or not.

Perhaps my lack of fame keeps me grounded. This week we’ll look at some musical artists who got themselves in trouble with the law. In each case the common thread may be that their ego played a role.
