What is the name of your state? Georgia
County? Cobb
Town? Kennesaw
Citation: 67 in a 45, clocked by LASER.
4 Lane Divided State Hwy
Average Traffic Pace: 50-60mph variable depending on traffic
Time: 9:30pm Friday Night
I'm 17 which means I have a class D license. The speed limit on this road changes from 55 to 45 with little relative warning, and I was unaware it had switched to 45 at the time of the citation. I was also doing 60mph not 67mph as per witness in my vehicle (although that probably means nothing to the court). My ticket does not state the location of the incident, just the precinct in which it happened in. As this was a town police officer, and there's only one police station, I'm assuming there is only one precinct for the department, which means the officer did not specify the exact location of the incident.
So what are my options? Can I claim since he did not specify the exact location of the incident that he may have had the speed limit incorrect? Also this is probably a stupid question, but I was moving right with traffic...not an excuse right? And does anybody know what kind of fine I'm looking at? I've never been convicted of a ticket before, I got a warning on my previous ticket so I have nothing on my record.
Thanks for your help this place seems like a good resource
