    Im Screwed...

    well about an hour ago i was driving down Glendale ave around 77th ave to go to my girlfriends house, and i was drivin a little over the speed limit like always. BUT i was keeping up with traffic, Well needless to say i got pulled over and got a fat ass ticket for 480$. The cops exact words to me were, "Were you drag racing or just keeping up with traffic?" I told him straight up i know i was drivin a little fast im not going to lie but i was keeping up with traffic, my turns right up there. Well his response was "The only reason why i got you instead of those other 3 were you were the one in front." WTF? really dude?? i pulled over to not be a dick and he ****in gives me some bullsh!t reason like that?? Anyways he said i was going 72 in a 40, which is bulls!t once again cuz i looked down at the exact time he flipped his lights on and i was going 56. So i guess my question is, im fighting the ticket but how should i go along doing so?? Any ideas? And the cop tried to pull the whole well you have big custom rims so that might throw your speedo off, which i've got gears too and my program was set up for my gears and tire size. But anyway i need some help! And i cant go to driving school im like 3 months shy...

    Best bet is take it to court and admit you were speeding but not as fast as the officer noted. Tell him you were doing 56 and not 72. The judge will take your honesty into consideration and most likely reduce your fine.

    There's no way he will throw the ticket out.

    No i didnt think too, foolishly. BUT it takes a stock Mustang GT 170 feet to stop from 70mph - 0mph with the brake to the floor, i went less distance without nailing the brakes another flaw for that bullsh!t ticket

    so heres what i got so far...

    -I was keepin up with 3 cars so we all were speeding
    -Had 2 people in my car plus me to witness i wasnt
    going 70
    -Couldnt have gone 72mph and stop as early as i did without lockin up my brakes and gettin a ticket for reckless driving
    -Couldnt of been able to turn off the road safe if i was traveling 72mph without gettin another ticket for that
    -Plus even the cop asked if i was racing or keepin up with traffic.

    SO HOPEFULLY THAT'LL HELP ME A LITTLE BIT!

    Cops don't have to show you their radar findings.
