What is the name of your state? Colorado
Im thinking about fighting this ticket, but Im not sure if I have any grounds to or if I should. I was following a car who a police officer clocked at 42 MPH in a 25 zone. He pulled that car over and as i passed, he waved at me to pull over as well, so I did. He then came and told me that he clocked the other driver at 42 MPH and since i was fairly close behind her he was going to issue me a ticket for that speed as well. Now, Im not sure what the laws are, so I dont know if his word against mine in that matter will hold up in court. Being that its an 80 dollar ticket and 4 points off my license, not to mention i wont get my good driver's discount on my insurance anymore if i plead guilty, I think it might be worth it to fight it, but I was hoping for a 2nd opinion from someone who knows whether I stand a chance or not.
