YOu can just write a darkly inked NOT in front of the guilty. Even if they can clearly tell that you wrote guilty first, it still counts as pleading not guilty.

Also, you can cross through the word guilty and write not guilty above it. It's ok if it's messy.

You are guilty, though. And, you won't save $175 because they are not going to be happy that you wasted the court's time. They'll have to pay the officer to be in court, and he will not be happy about it.

They are not going to believe you if you lie. They are not going to lower the amount for this kind of ticket (they do lower fines and such, but not for stuff as standard as a seatbelt ticket. This fine is a set price)

It doestn' matter how fast she was going. You broke the law and got a ticket.

You can make payment arrangements, though.

If you don't like seatbelt laws then pay attention to who your voting for.
