Your Honor,
I am writing this statement on behalf of {Name}, who is set to appear before you in court on {date} to request a reduction of a speeding ticket received on {date}.
I am {Name}'s {relationship to Name}, and I have known {him/her} for {number} years, since {date}. I am a {profession} at {Company} in {location}.
I have been a passenger in a vehicle with {Name} as a driver many times, as {he/she} often offers me a ride to {location} from {location} every {frequency}. Therefore, I have had many opportunities to witness what a cautious and courteous driver {Name} is. {He/she} has never gone over the speed limit while I was present, is deferential to other drivers, and has never responded in an aggressive or dangerous way even when there are reckless vehicles on the road.
I would never presume to contest the charge of speeding made against {Name}. I can only say that such an incident is completely out of character for such a careful and sensible driver. I have always felt very safe and grateful to have {him/her} on the road with me.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
{Sender}
