What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
My truck was sputtering because I was running out of gas and the nearest gas station was about a mile away, I know the area well and i was going down a hill so I put my car into neutral and rolled hoping I could save enough gas to make it the rest of the way. I went down the hill and there was a sign 25 mph going around the corner, so I slowed down to around 25 and after the corner let off the brake to coast down the hill. I went around a slight bend in the road and there was a cop sitting facing away from me in her car. I knew I was going too fast so i slowed down to 30 and as I approached her she put her lights on so I pulled over infront of her. She gave me a ticket for going 45 in a 25. The violation was speeding 90/18, 45 in a 25 and posted, radar and estamated were checked off. I am going to lose my licence if I don't win this hearing and I need my licence for work. I recieved this ticket 2 weeks before I turned 18 and in massachusetts if you are under 18 you lose your licence if you get 2 speeding tickets. The first one I got was 50 in a 40. Also the police officer at my school said he would call the magistrates office and put in a good word for me, but I cant let that be my only defence against it. Any advice is greatly appreaciated. My hearing is on friday so i dont have much time. Thanks
