If you're going to have the exceptionally annoying ability to fire off my flaws via name-calling (generally associated with immaturity, which so far I see more in you than in myself) then be sure you have the evidence to back it up. Otherwise your argument reveals a poor attempt to attack me on your part, and thus you've gotten nowhere in making me feel worse about myself. That is, if that really was your intent.

All I'm saying is, you got a ticket, pay up, end of story. If you want to take your chances in court that's up to you but I'm sick of reading these threads posted by people who get busted when they were clearly breaking the law and ask for advice on how to either wiggle out of it or look for some excuse how to get out of it. If that's not your intent, fine, but that's how most of these threads pan out.
What's wrong if you can wiggle your way out of these things? It's a speeding ticket, sheesh, he didn't kill someone.

I got a ticket for 64 in a 45 construction zone. I went to court and talked to the judge. I admitted guilt and asked if I could get the ticket deferred. The judge agreed and all I had to do was waste a Saturday afternoon in traffic school and pay the "tuition" and court costs. You can attract more flies with manuer than honey.

It's this neat little thing called Personal Responsibility. Perhaps you have heard of it? It's severely lacking in todays America.

I've done this too. I just don't see the problem of working things out in court.

In my experience, judges are more willing to work with you if you admit your mistakes rather than try to make excuses.

Most of my tickets have never gone to court. I'd set up a formal hearing, meet with the prosecuting att and work out a deal. Which is what happened this time around. Informal hearings are totally diff.

I think I used to pay about $200-250, and that is in NY where everything is more expensive, so it should be cheaper there.
A lot of the advice some people have given you might not be applicable, as many of these laws vary state-to-state. I know we don't have traffic school in NY, and if a cop doesn't show, you can still get prosecuted, only a lawyer knows the law in your state the best.

trust me, dont admit guilt. this is how the state makes money. As soon as you say "I did it BUT...." they say "Well you still did it and it was illegal and you are guilty" And you find yourself paying a nice $100 ticket. I don't see how anyone can confuse an escort with a Mustang. Maybe back in the late 80's but not a ZX2. I think there is a legitamate shot that he got the wrong guy. You can also say that you had your cruise control set to something like 60 mph and that there is no way that you were going that fast. You have a lot of options. Don't admit guilt, and show up looking and acting like a responsible adult and you stand a good chance. Also ask around and see if anyone you know knows people in high places! That helped me out once of a unregistered uninsured ticket!!!!!

Oh the irony.
