Yesterday I was coming home from school (but before school I was camping), and I was about 3 blocks away from home when a cop pulled me over. Said I was doing 57 in a 45 zone (probably was, wasn't really paying attention - I had to go to the bathroom really bad so I was focused on getting home).
The cop came up and did the whole license, insurance, registration thing and I was honest with him and told him I was going a bit fast cause my stomach hurt a lot and I wanted to get home to relieve myself. He totally ignored this (no sympathy at all) and promptly wrote me up.
Now, seeing how I got a ticket 6 months ago and just finished the traffic school for that, I can't take traffic school for this, so I'm screwed. I really would rather not have that point on my license.
Can anyone offer advice as to help me try to get out of this one (I know that sounds really bad LOL)? Normally I'd say I deserve whatever tickets I get cause I drive a bit on the faster side but in this case I had a decent, honest reason and I think anyone with half a heart would have understood (you gotta go if you gotta go).
Unfortunately he got me with a laser (which is more accurate than radar, so harder to really refute), but on the plus side he clocked me when I was over 500ft away.
I did a simple calculation with geometry and for him to "miss" and aim at the car in the other lane would have required just 1.1 degrees of error in whatever direction he was pointing his laser.
Also, I don't know if this matters, but on the ticket he wrote that the car is registered as "same as driver" but it is actually owned by my dad. It's a technicality but murderers even get let off on stupid technicalities like that - is there something I can do about this?
I'm going to do trial by declaration and hope he doesn't respond, but if he responds and I lose I'm gonna take it to court and fight it and every little tactic helps I guess.
So...bring on the advice?
Thanks
