Hi,
I was in NY and have just moved to NJ. I didn't get a chance to get my license switched to NJ and now I am waiting till the ticket issue is resolved.
I received a ticket, was doing 68 mph (65 is normal for that highway staten island expressway) on a 50 mph road. The police car was parked parallel to the highway(and the cop was fat so I don't know how he turned around in his car to see how fast I was going, because of this I seriously believe he lied about how fast I was going). The dude who overtook me earlier by a minute was slowing down so I noticed that police car and by the time I reached him I was doing below 50. Dude stops me, says I was doing 72mph and gives me a ticket.
I want to know if its worth it for me to fight this ( will I win or will they fine me more if I lose in court?)
I am thinking of telling the judge I was doing 68 and not 72.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
