Wrong posted speed on citation

[Raffy17]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland

I got a speeding ticket in Maryland going 53 in a 35, as noted on the citation. When I double checked the area, the posted speed limit is clearly 40. Is this grounds for pleading innocent as I was not going 53 in a 35?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Will not get the ticket tossed...


But it will allow you to cause doubt and call into question the officer's ability to pay attention to details and being a trained observer since a well trained person would have known the speed limit of the road instead of assuming what it was.

If he did not know the speed limit what else did he do wrong

Where you got stopped is not necessarily where you got clocked. Were you near the edge of a town where the speed may have been increasing. Or sometimes the speed can vary from suburb to suburb.

Is there any difference in fine/points between 13 over and 18 over?

Where I got stopped was the same speed limit as the rest of the road in either direction
