My Son was pulled over and ticketed for speeding. He is 17 years old. He was ticketed for 69 in a 35. He said he was going 53. He didn't argue with the officer, but he did asks him to double check his radar. The road is a major County Road and the speed limit has been the same since it was a dirt road. The adverage speed of traffic is 45 to 50. The road isn't marked well with speed limit signs, the direction he was traveling has no signs. Most of us know this road is a speed trap but some how I didn't get it across to my son. It is the only major road with a limit of 35 all others are 45. The officer clocked him using moving radar while coming out of a slight curve and coming over a hill. My son has pleaded Not Gulity and asked for a jury trial. (He did this because the judge always sides with the officer) He has had no other tickets or accidents but Georgia law requires him to lose his licenses for 6 months. Plus the fine is $500.00. We are wanting to know what his best defence would be. He has a few options we just don't know which one has the best success rate. Thanks!
