First Ticket....need advise
just picked up my first ticket on the rr. was on my way home from work....i live about 5mins away from where i work, and usually take the access road to get home b/c there are some small twisties on that route. in mid lean...i hear a siren chirp from behind me....i pull into the next driveway of some business and the cop gives me a ticket for speeding.
he said the he cited me for 80 in a 45....no radar or anything. anyone got any advise on how to get rid of this? cbr76...i know you have some experience in this area. any input would be appreciated...
thanks

IMHO the questions isn't how he knew you were speeding, the question is were you speeding? If you actually were doing 80 in a 45 pay the ticket, take responsibility for your actions
if you weren't speeding go to court and tell the judge that the cop wasn't following you long enough to pace you and that he didn't use radar and that he was mistaken (obviously don't say the cop lied that won't go to far with a judge)

Wait a minute. In Smarterben's defense, he's saying there's no way he was doing 80. If the cop can't prove it either then why wouldn't he argue it?
I say go to court and at least state your case. Worst thing that could happen is you end up paying the ticket anyway. Just wear a tie, be respectful, say "sir" and "your honor" alot and you might have chance.

I'm not saying I wasn't speeding....I'm sure I was, not sure how fast though. I'm willing to take responcibility for but it would be nice if I could get around it. I mean if I could take defensive driving or probation I would take that route (im sure if you've taken defensive driving before...you'd know that its punishment enough).
the officer stating I was going 80mph prohibits me from taking defensive driving bc its over 25mph.
in anycase....if any one has any other pointers that would be great info to have. thanks for the suggestions and input everyone
