What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: New York, by the Chataqua county sheriff. My 17 year old son was driving about 300 yards in front of us home from dinner. The sheriff was coming from the other direction, and clocked him at 52mph. The thing is, he was about 12 feet from the sign that changed the speed limit from 35 to 55. He had just seen the sign and started speeding up. I know in PA the police officer cannot run "speed" within 500 ft of a speed limit change, am not sure on NY laws. I would argue that a 17 year old, could be seen as a speeder, but with his parents right behind him? Not in the picture, it is our new (used) car (5 days old), and he is use to driving our SUV, would be terrified we would take the car away. The other reason I am sure of his speed, is our 16 yr old just started driving on her permit, and we are really teaching her about speeds and driving period, she was driving so we were talking about her speeds.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
