Well I couldn't tell at all because it was night time, and where I live there aren't really street lights on the roads. So really all I can do is look behind me to see what it is. Plus, when I noticed the car behind me we were going through a hilly part of the road so it was in and out of my view, until I noticed and slowed up to 40 and tried to play it off like the huge downslope we were on made me increase my speed.

Also, the police officer that pulled me over was a Birmingham officer, but I called there and they said they have no record of me being pulled over on Saturday night. They also said that all their citations go through the Downingtown court, but my citation will be going through the Glen Mills court (which would be the case if the state trooper had pulled me over and issued the citation himself). But is that allowed for the one officer to pull me over, and then have my citation filled by a state trooper? To me that seems unfair because for one the Birmingham officer did not have anything on me, he didn't even have my speed. And two, I stand a better chance with him because he probably wouldn't care enough to go to court.
