I plead not guilty to every ticket I get now......Its a big business is all it is nowadays and surprisingly I get off more often than not just by showing up to court - if the cop is not at the court the case is dismissed

yea, but who doesnt do 5 over???

That is also irrelevant. However this being your fist time is no big deal. It happens. You should be able to get adjudication waived as was already suggested. Or if you think you can prove beyond a doubt that the limit is made known well enough then fight the whole charge. I wouldn't invest the time personally. I'd just have any adjudication waived and pay the fee.

When I took a driver's improvement class, we had three people who were clocked at 5 over.
It happens.

GPS is not 100% accurate, normal GPS recievers can place you anywhere within 10 meters of your actual location. And they will still say you are with 6 feet or whatever.


To fight the ticket, take a video of the road from where you turned on to where the cop pulled you over, showing the lack of posted speed limit.

Also, the rescheduling thing does work. At the very least it gives you several months to prepare a somewhat reasonable case. Also, if the cop doesn't show you are immediately aquitted. And if he does, question him about your car, what color is it, does it have stock rims, is it four door, do you have any large bumper stickers. Pick obvious answer questions, that can be identified on a picture. When the cop messes them up, ask the judge to aquit you because the cop does not have a clear recollection of the event. You can ask any number of questions, things he wouldn't know, but should have observed.

are you $%^&*(*&^% retarded?

the speed your traveling is 100% accurate on the GPS. the positioning of the 6 meter error has nothing to do with that. its the internal maps inside the GPS that are not drawn 100% to scale.

i sell them everyday i know. i have also talked to Garmin numerous times about the subject.

Here's a trick my friend used that is a possibility. You plead guilty and pay by mail. Except pay like five bucks more than the ticket. The police will send a refund check and the case isn't closed until the check is cashed. My friend did this for a ticket he got in OR (he lives in WA). Never cashed the check and seven years later, nothing ever appeared on his driving record.

i took defensive driving class, and the instructor told me a story about a girl getting pulled over for 1 mph over the speed limit

My uncle got pulled over from austin ---> Houston doing 1mph, but he just got a warning.
