Very angry, there has to be a bit of lee way!! 61 is hardly any different to 60!! Maybe over 65 in a 60 MPH zone, as that can be dangerous but not 61!! Has that happened to you??? What is going on with this world!!!

i would go to the court when the judge asks how do you plea I would explain what the ticket was for and if the cop didn't already give you a break i would expect the judge to throw out the ticket or at least keep it off of your record ....
I can not imagine a cop actually giving you a ticket for one mile per hour over if that is all he thought you were doing, but if you were really doing 15 over and got it down to 1 mile over before he clocked you he would put that in the report to the judge

That woudn't happen, would it? I've never got a speeding ticket for going less than 10 mph over the limit. I have a lead foot. I've had 5 speeding tickets over my life.

I would be very very surprised. Where I live, police don't strictly enforce the rules. They stop people mostly so that they can take money. I learned to apologise for doing anything wrong (whether or not I consider myself to have done wrong) and ask the police officer very politely if he could possibly help me because I have to get to the hospital because my friend had an accident. My friend is a soldier, who have higher status than police in this country, and he backs up my story.
The laws are different, but the general rule is the same. You cannot escape the fact that in the eyes of the law you are wrong. Just admit it and ask for forgiveness, or take your punishment.

Jason Dover is wrong, I work as a paralegal and you can get pulled over for going 1 mph, and be ticketed. Of course, its not very likely, it can happen.
I would say, I was clearly going 59, lol.

I'd ask how much the typical fine was for speeding 1 mile per hour over the speed limit.
then i would question how his instrument could be SO accurate as to be guarenteed correct to .01 MPH otherwise it could actually be less than 1 mph over, at which point I'd ask how much of a fine is it for going .75 mph over the speed limit etc :P

Speedometers have a percent of error plus wear of the tire accelerates the error. Radar guns have a percent of error. If your speed as noted by the officer was within the combined error of these measuring devices, it would be ruled unreliable and inadmissible in court IMHO.
Your only resource is to plead not guilty and when you go to trial, state your defense with authoritative backup from research and prior investigation. You will learn much and have a good time doing it, I am sure.

I would be FURIOUS! If I'm only going 1 mile over the speed limit you better not waist your time or mine by pulling me over. You best believe we will be going to court after that. Most places/city's allow 5 over the limit and not pull you over, at least the y do it here. But again, we will be going to court to get that ticket dropped faster that you can say "sorry".

I would be cool about it but go to his authority over it! No cop can do that for going one mile above the speed limit or I would offer him something else for him not to give me a ticket <3

Take it to court and argue a calibration error between my speedometer and the cops radar gun. Seeing as how they are two completely different pieces of equipment, there is no way they can match exactly and the ticket legally has to be dismissed.
Legal loop holes are good to know
