What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
I am a New Hampshire resident and I recently got a speeding ticket for 80 in a 65 mph on I-495 in MA. This was a 90/17 violation with "Clocked Radar Estimated Posted" checked on the citation. I was driving in the left most lane and was being tailgated by a sports car. I decided to move over to the middle lane, but had to cross a bunch of cars before I had enough space to move over. In the process, I was close to 75mph and a cop in SUV was behind me when I switched to the middle lane. He followed me and pulled me over.
The cop told me that I was going at 80, but I panicked and told him I was below 75mph. He gave me a citation and I am challenging it.
Few questions:
- What does all this mean - "Clocked Radar Estimated Posted"? Is this possible?
- Will I get points on my license if proven guilty?
- How can I beat this ticket?
I have a clerk magistrate hearing tomorrow. How can I defend during this hearing? Any suggestions will help greatly! This is my first time and I am not sure how it works.
Thanks in advance!
