Honestly, it sounds as if you were speeding even before this incident occurred. But hey, there is always a slim chance so fight it if you can. Either way you will pay fees so if you can provide pictures of the roadway and a good account of how it occurred and better yet any info on the vehicle that cut you off and/or witnesses. Go talk to an attorney @ your City/County Building and it is free to the public. He/She can give you advice on if or how to proceed.
Good Luck...

It most likely is not worth hiring a lawyer to represent you in this instance. You probably should pay the fine and just consider it over and done with. I have worked in the courts and often the court does not show a whole lot of leniency when it comes to something like this.

definite....you additionally can contest a radar or laser fee ticket. inspite of the incontrovertible fact that, your possibilities of battling it are narrow. despite if that's you vs the cop, the decide will bypass on the belief the cop has no reason to lie yet you do. you desire to get out of the fee ticket, no longer pay the advantageous and not get the factors. in case you base your protection on the cop telling a lie for some unknown reason, your possibilities of winning are approximately 0. you will could desire to combat it on the belief the cop made an blunders in calculating the cost. on account which you're asking approximately non-radar/laser procedures, definite there are different procedures which could be utilized. If the cop pulled up in the back of you on your blind spot and then matched your velocity, analyzing his qualified speedometer, and sees which you have been over the cut back (generally it must be a undeniable volume, which includes 5 mph to allow for blunders on your uncertified speedometer) he could supply you fee ticket based upon tracked and pronounced velocity over the cut back. you will could desire to grant lifelike doubt as to the accuracy of ways he did it. IE: Springtime and that they only switched to summer season tires from their wintry climate tires. Did they recertify his speedometer? in addition they can use a timer gadget in some components. The cop can start up one end watch as you bypass a particular mark, then whilst he crosses an identical mark, he starts off a 2d end watch. Then once you bypass yet another mark, he stops the 1st one, and whilst he crosses an identical 2d mark, he stops the 2d. a working laptop or pc then fits the two end watches and the area traveled and is derived up with a velocity on your automobile. They even enable in some components the cop to mark out four hundred and forty yards and he then sits with a end watch and "clocks' you (it extremely is the place the term got here from) as you return and forth the quarter mile. If the cost cut back is 60 mph, he's unquestionably-known with to bypass one mile could desire to take you greater desirable than a million minute, and to bypass four hundred and forty yards, it may take you greater desirable than 15 seconds. in case you do it in 10 seconds, he's unquestionably-known with you have been dashing and back could supply you a cost tag. Pay the fee ticket and watch your velocity.

You don't really need a lawyer.the prosecuter will reduce your ticket with a plea bargain. Tell him you want no points on your license. If you get a lawyer he will charge your $400.00 put court fees will be $400.00. Only pay the lawyer $200.00 and make sure it is after your case is settle,,good luck.

Either way, you were still speeding. You can go to court and find out if you can attend traffic school to erase it. I just finished traffic school for the third time!! haha!! Mailing my certificate to the court tomorrow....unfortunately you will still have to pay a fine, but its well worth it to not have it on your record.

It's not a pleasant position to be in - something similar happened to me yesterday but luckily there were no police around.
It will be expensive for you to get a lawyer, I would just try pleading it in court and hopefully, as this is your first offence, they will be lenient.

Own up to it and when you go to court, plead guilty and ask the judge to let you go to traffic school to erase the ticket from your record.
