What is the name of your state? Florida
Hello all - Great forum! just found it - my first ticket in 20 years or so tonight.
I'm on my way home about a quarter mile from my house with a bag full of Chinese food for the kids and... the dreaded flashing lights behind me.. oh boy what did I do officer?
just the facts ma'am..you were doing 43 in a 30 mph zone. but..but..occiffer- you know the drill. He says go to traffic school blah..blah.blah.
On my citation it reads - "Radar #64" "speed sign 43 in 30"
in violation of state statute 316.074(1) and there's a check in a box that says - "violation of traffic control device"
I look up the statute and it's for failure to stop at a red light or stop sign. What goes here?
Is this SOP these days? Can I fight this with every fiber of my being? Do I have a chance in hell?
TIA
