Road Trip: Ticket-time
Yay, I finally decided to take a road trip in the Yaris, 1.3k miles, but on only 4 tanks of gas!
Anyway, I didnt have a problem, except for I tried to stick to speed limits, and that is so not me.. Hence why I come to my next reason for posting... I got caught in a cross traffic speeding trap in Jasper, FL: This is where a cop is sitting in the opposite lane from in which your coming from and then radar hits...the cop then tells the other cop who speeds, then bang your done... Anyway, I got a false reading, was doing 80 in a 70, and he rang in at 91... Now the thing is, even if it was possible, Yaris uphill = slow acceleration, even if I tried I couldnt have gone from 80 to 91 uphill...also, the cop that wrote the ticket didnt even radar me, it was his "buddy"...also he wrote Honda on the ticket, then scratched it off for Toyota after I gave him my registration, dont know if that would hold up in court for "Heresay+Mistaken ID?" Now my next problem, I got 30 days to pay up $190 but, I was just going to take it to court. But I live almost 250 miles from the city. I dont know if I could find a traffic attourney or something, or just do the whole setup a court date thing, or just try and contact a judge? Anyone have experience with long distance speeding tickets, and/or taken them to court? I dont really have the damnest idea what to do, I have taken one to court in my local county, but Long distance sucks, not to mention to take time out to go there would suck, hence the attourney idea? Any Sugggestions? |
