I would add one thing to the ticket post (which is one of the better I've seen on the internet, though I would note that this stuff varies pretty widely by state): Read (and understand) the statute you're accused of violating. Not doing this is the most common mistake I've seen in traffic court. If you bring up "reasonable and prudent" in a state with a strict liability speed limit, you're going to fail. And if you do it in negotiation, it is over. The prosecutor now knows they'll win, easily. Oh and if you have time to kill, go watch traffic court. You'll find out which judges are easy, which are nice. How to make judges like you and all that stuff. In my county, there's one Judge who is extremely skeptical of traffic tickets with even very minor flaws. If you know this, you can press for a drat good deal with the knowledge that if you fail, your odds of winning are still pretty high.

In an urban area, the speed limit is a hard barrier. You cannot argue that 60 was safe in a 55 (though in a blizzard 55 can be unsafe and get you a ticket) and get out of a ticket. However, in rural areas that avenue is still open.
