What is the name of your state? Florida
I was caught in a speed trap! I haven't had a ticket in 26 years! It was 7:30 am, the sun was low and extremely bright. I drive a silver Expedition. The speed limit was 30 and they said I was doing 50! I never drive that fast, ( I was probably doing 40, yes still guilty but 20 miles over is really bad!) I have been doing some research about laser's and innacuracy. Could the sun and the blinding reflection on my car have messed up the laser? I can't even look at the car when the sun is on it. Every car that was pulled over while I was stopped was either silver or white. The police officer was standing on the side of the road and aiming the gun. It was not on a tripod and I read it is extremely difficult to keep steady aim like this. Since I admit I was speeding, should I fight this in court for a lesser amount or just go to traffic school (no points). Also, does the ticket have to state the distance that the laser gun information was taken. Mine doesn't. Thanks!
