What is the name of your state? California
Tonight I was hit with a reckless driving citation CA 23103(3) V.C. which is a Misdemeanor. My car was also impounded.
The situation:
I was traveling southbound over an overpass going towards a freeway onramp. I picked up some speed to get up the hill and as I came down I downshifted to second gear which brought me down to about 45-50mph approx, the posted speedlimit is 35mph. As I came to the intersection another car in the #1 lane blasted past me at a much higher rate of speed and cut me off to make it to the on-ramp first.
A patrol officer was sitting at the corner of the intersection and witnessed this and proceeded to pull us both over. The officer explained that he clocked me doing 62mph and also wrote it as well on the citation. I was charged with Reckless driving and my vehicle was impounded, I am not sure what the other driver was charged with or if his speed was recorded but his car was impounded as well. In anycase a bad night for both of us.
My question is:
Are radar guns able to track multiple vehicles?
Would there be any way to get my car out earlier than the 30day impound sentence? (I need the car badly for work)
Am I totally screwed?!?
Any input, thoughts, etc are greatly appreciated.
