Challenging the callibration of radar or lazer guns, which only have a variance of about 5mph in either direction is pretty much futile. So going that route would only do you good if you were 5mph over the speed limit. Sometimes it works, but most of the time the judge just gets pissed off at the effort and levies the max fine on the violation just for wasting his or her time having to discuss it in their courtroom. You have to remember that this type of issue is what goes on in their courtroom all day long, every single day, every week of their miserable job. They have heard every excuse in the book and the bottom line is slow down and stop getting pulled over.

The best advice here so far is for you to approach the prosicutor prior to the hearing/pleeding and try to get it reduced or at least elliminate the points. This will save him/her time and get them out of the courtroom sooner so they can go home for the day. Anything else is just going to cause you even more trouble.

The advice we used to get as kids was take your lumps and move on with your life, and stop making stupid mistakes. We all come to realize as we age that following the rules of the road is the best route. The rules apply to everyone without exception. The sooner you learn this the easier your life will be.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
