I was cited for an excessive speed in Arizona on I 40E while going from Las vegas to Grand Canyon.
I was given ARS, Criminal traffic citation. I am a resident of California. I while going and get a Criminal Traffic citation.
The speed posted in the highway is 75mph. I was cited for excessive speed of 92mph. This is happened in the following situation?
There are couple of trucks on the right side of the road. I was driving in the left lane and would like to pass all the trucks,
I speed up and passed all the trucks. The road is on down hill, which resulted in pick up the more speed by the time I cross all vehicles.
I reduced the speed after I passed all the trucks. Cop has given me the paper work and told me I can attend the court If I disagree.
I live in California. I'd like to say that I am not guilty and appear in the court. As the court is not located in Bay area how can I do this option?
WHat's the best way for me to get rid of the points? Please advise

There should be a number on the citation that you could call. See if you can speak with one of the attorneys. Hopefully they can tell you what your options are if any.

You're guilty. Trying to plead innocent will most likely increase your fines and penalties. Had you done 5, even 10 over the limit the innocent could hold up. But not with your excessive speed. Should you prefer to plead innocent, I expect the Judge or Justice of the Peace will gleefully add Reckless Driving to your package. And yes it is his perrogative to do so after the fact. Were you in Oregon, you would have been just a few miles per hour from losing your license for two years. There is another alternative. You could get an attorney and get out of it. Probably cost $1500 to $2000. But you won't accomplish that on your own.
Arizona law says you are not to exceed the speed limit in passing. So your reasons are going to be real lame using your intended claim of innocense.

If you want to go to court, come back to Arizona and go to court.
