guys, I rode 120 miles trip from Palm Spring to Garden Grove (OC). Last 5 miles near my exit on the 22 Garden Grove freeway, I was going around 80 to 85. When I exit, a high patrol was behind me. He gave me a ticket for speeding, he asked me at what speed I was going (I told him around 80 to 85 and he wrote 85 on the ticket)and he also said that I was passing every vehicle on the freeway (traffic was light). This is my first ticket, what should I do? Anything would help thank you

 

quit spamming, you have this in THREE places. Enough!!!!!

 

Bite the bullet man, you earned it. I know how it feels, I just got my first speeding ticket last year (not on my bike though), and there isnt really anything you can do about it. Unless of course you can prove to the judge that you werent speeding...

 

you admited you were speeding. if it was chp and he was behind you he wouldve had you on radar. you ****ed up so now pay the ticket. i had a sac sheriff say i was doing 85 in a 40 in heavy traffic and when i went to court i told the DA that there was no way i couldve done that (explained why) and she said , " how fast do you think you were going" i told her about 5-10 over (basic speeding ticket) and that was it. all you can do is plead guilty and hopefully take traffic school to get it off your record.

 

go to court, take dd and dont get another ticket for 12 months.

 

Never, ever, tell the cop how fast you were going. Always respond with "I was watching the road and wasn't paying attention to the speedometer". Sometimes the cop will pull you over because he knows you were speeding but he didn't get you on radar. He is hoping that you will admit to speeding so he can write you a ticket. At that point, you have no way to contest the ticket since you admitted to how fast you were going.

 

QFT, That is the dumbest thing you could ever do. What did the ticket say was the method that the cop got you with? Here the tickets all have to say how the cop caught you. (laser, radar, following etc.)

Anyway, you were dumb enough to be speeding, so live with the punishment.

 

I got one too !! from 22fwy .. riders gota watch out cuz .. they on it on 22fwy .. what was officer name ? did he clock u ? cuz he didnt clock me ..imana try to fight this one

 

lol ouch.... ya man , ive had a couple 20 over tickets, theyll prob send u to DD like rasco says, thats an easy ticket man, pay ur dues

 

I've heard you have the right to see/read cop's speed radar/laser if caught speeding. That's the proof you are speeding.
