What is the name of your state? California
I was recently driving in the San Francisco area, when I was pulled over on highway 101. The CHP did the whole chp thing, do you know why i pulled you over, etc. He informed me i was travelling 91 m.p.h., which is absurd, as i was driving with the speed of traffic, and going no more than 75 m.p.h. according to my speedometer. Also, the officer for some reason wrote down that i was driving a gold civic, when i was driving a blue saturn. I don't really understand why he would do that, maybe it was nearing his shift and he was tired? At any rate, I do not pretend to be a defense lawyer, and am unsure how to proceed.
Should i: Plead not guilty, represent myself and try to fight it; hire a defense lawyer and try to fight it? Or just pay the fine and attend traffic school? I am very busy, i usually work around 50 hours a week, so I don't really want to take off a day for court, but i do not think i could afford my insurance if it were to increase a lot. I am not sure how much of a case i have; I don't know how i would go about proving that i'm telling the truth.
