What is the name of your state? New Jersey
I wanna tell you the entire story so you know exactly what happened.
I was on my way home from school and I was on route 287 north (coming from the parkway) at about 10:20pm and I was behind a large group of cars and no one was in the fast lane. (my stomach wasn't doing to well since I work and school full time; I have no "me" time) so I decided to take everyone over and then slow to about 5/10 mph over. I hit the gas and drove past everyone. After i past everyone (which they were going about the speed limit, but my exit was coming up), I got back over into the slow lane (didnt shoot across all the lanes, did it properly) When I began to pass everyone, it was a 3 lane highway. When I did passs everyone and got over, it was a 5 lane highway. So when I got back over, I was in the middle lane. when I coasted back to about 60/65, I noticed a car pretty close behind me and he had an amber light in his window. Right there, I knew it was a state trooper. I cruse a bit and about a mile down the road (right before my exit) he put his lights on and pulled me over. He came to the car and asked me if I knew why he pulled me over, I said I might of been going a bit fast. He asked him how fast I was, I said 75. He asked me why, I said "to be honest, I have to go bathroom." I then told him I've never been pulled over for a moving voliation before (which is very true) and he said he would be right back (he had a partner too) He came back and gave me a ticket for 80 in a 55 and had the equipment as "paced". I know I did get to 80 and I know he didn't pace me at even 75 like i know I did do. By the time he got behind me, there was no time for him to pace me. also...my entire "speeding" was maybe a half mile if that. How should I go about doing this? I plead not guilty and had my 1st court date moved back. My next court date (which the lady said I must go to this time) is jan 2, 2007. Should I talk to the prosicutor and have it to minor ticket like no seat belt or is that too low and just ask for unsafe driving? The ticket now carries 4 points. I deff don;t need that right now. Thanks in advance.
