About mid october I got a speeding ticket from a lower south cop. He was sitting in a parking lot, way back with no lights on. I only noticed it because I had my high beams on and turned them off to be couteous to him. As soon as I pass him he rips out and follows me over a mile. I thought everything was okay until a guy runs a red light in front of me, causing me to slam my brakes and then the lights came on.
No I will openly admit I wasnt doing 45, i was doing 50 with my cruise control on (this is something i have been doing for years) because it was after 2am. He tells me I was doing atleast 75, writes me a ticket and leaves.
Today I had my trial date and went in and he tells me the best he can do is a 6, not 5 but 6 over and I will leave with 2 points on my spotless record. Or I can fight it and leave with 6 points and no liscence. Naturally I chose the submissive way and now will have 2 points following me around for 2 years.
He told me there is no way to prove to me thats what speed I was doing and he didnt have anything with him to show for it, But the judge knew and liked him as well as everyone in the courthouse so I chose to not press my luck with so many against me.
Do you see anything wrong, and If so how do I go about making this dissapear. As well as what do you think this will do to my car insurance. I have nothing on my record prior and am currently insuring to brand new turbo cars and really dont want my rate to change too much if at all.
