Beginning Saturday, December 1st, a new law goes into effect that limits a defendant's ability to ask for a "prayer for judgment" after he or she has pled guilty to speeding more than 25 miles per hour over the speed limit. A prayer for judgment is a punishment that allows a driver to keep their license without accumulating points on their license or insurance.-The new law also prevents a defendant from using an "improper equipment plea" if they are caught driving faster than 25 mph over the limit.
