Well I was coming home from erie pa on 89 and I had cruise set on 75 a car was coming up behind me kinda fast when I got close to a u turn place in the highway the car passed me. Well needless to say there was a trooper at the u turn spot. He pulls out and pulls me and the guy that passed me over. The god damn cop gave me a ticket for 82 in a 65 along with the other guy. Its not the ticket because I know I was speeding doing 75 in a 65 it is the principle. Saying I was doing 82 it would be kinda obviouse that it would be the guy that passed me goin 82. But what can I say FTP. By the way I leave for basic training on 10/5/06 and my court date is 10/12/06 so i cant go and fight it also it was 2 hours from my house.

 

thats life mate get a jammer

 

Let a reputable attorney handle this for you. It is worth the cost. They have a wonderful way of making things a little better. It is an easy job for them.

 

hmmm don't know about the laws in the USA but we have a tolerance of 10% + 2 mph which is by the dealers and government because nothing is perfect

 

The problem is i wont be home to fight it. I wont be back till xmass.

 

Check the small-print on the ticket. Maybe you can contact the court and request a stay, until you come home for xmass?!?!?

 

that's a good reason to fight it ( you cant be there for what ever reason ) now depending on why you cant be there is another thing and at the time was it possible you were not there to drive the car??

 

Military service (you have some sort of documentation, I assume) is a perfectly valid reason to postphone a court date. Now, you have to understand that the court is NOT obligated to postphone your date for that reason. But, you CAN request...

 

I plan on calling the court house tomorrow to see what can be done about this. From what I wrote in the 1st post dose it seem to be a resonable thing to fight.

 

You can't fight it and win all the way, but you can probably get your fine reduced by appearing in court. I know I have - and it wasn't because of my great legal mind either. The judge may also send you to traffic school, thus keeping the ticket off your record - that helps with insurance, blah blah blah. So it may be worth it to get the date moved if you can.
