I was pulled over tonight in West Chester, and then told it was for racing? I dont know how that possible considering the fact that I was just driving around? The officer said another officer saw me doing it earlier? Does that make sense? I wasnt racing I was driving the speedlimit all night? If I take the matter to court arent they goin to believe the police officer over me? The ticket simply says, "Racing on the Highway." No speeding, careless driving, etc. What? Do I get points or is it just a fine? What did I do!?

I WASNT RACING!!!!!!!!!

( no i did not give anyonethe finger)
