That is not usually an option. Once the defendant has voluntarily pled guilty then the verdict will stand. Appeal is limited to persons who are found guilty of a crime either by jury or judge or if it can be proven that the accused was coerced or intimidated into making the plea.

How do you write a good written statement to court to beat a traffic violation?
You don't...usually you have make an appearance in Court if you are attempting to plead not-guilty to a traffic violation. Once you plead not guilty then you will be scheduled for a trial. This will allow for you (defendant) to show proof the traffic citation was in error as a mistake of the issuing law enforcement officer. Be prepared to be cross examined by the Traffic Court judge, as it takes more time & energy to fight a citation than it does to pay the fine and/or traffic school. At least in California.

Sometimes, a person enters a guilty plea when facing a traffic violation under circumstances which would otherwise warrant a not guilty plea.
