I came on here maybe 6 months ago for advice on contesting a ticket, but the judge offered me traffic school for the violation, so I took that instead. Now I was pulled over again, this time on 280 in San Mateo, CA for going "80+" in a 65mph zone: Code 22349(A)VC. Thing is, I had my cruise control set to about 75mph, but they accused me of going 95, as well as being high since my eyes were red from allergies and wearing contacts all day (I got pulled over at 2:45am). So after making me get out of the car to do a "sobriety test" (made me follow a pen with my eyes), they took all my information, presented me with the ticket, and when I asked to see the radar or any indication of my speed, they refused. Cops were complete *******s about it. I admitted setting cruise control to about 75, which might have been a stupid thing to say now that I think about it, but I guess after being accused of going 95, saying I was going 75 didn't sound too bad. Anyway, any advice on what I should do in this situation? I want to contest this, but I don't really have any hard evidence. Also, at the least, I'd like to reduce the fine, so is there any way I could prove I was going under 80 and not "80+" as noted on the ticket? Lastly, any idea on how much this ticket will cost me? Thanks in advance for any responses. I got a lot of helpful information from here last time...
