Hi I got a speeding ticket for cvc 22348 speeding over 100 mph on the freeway last week. I was going to plead not guilty on the charge of speeding over 100mph but plead guilty for breaking the speed limit of 65 mph. The cop paced me and said i was doing 110mph but i could of sworn my speedometer said 95mph but i am not sure. So i did some research and discovered that my speedometer is most likely off by alot considering i have a 94 honda civic and the stock tire size was a radius of 13" and now i have a radius of 18" which is a big difference. After talking to my friends at tire shops they all said that because of the bigger tire my speedometer will be saying that i am going slower then what i am. As in i could have been really doing but to my understanding i thought i was going slower, if i show proof of this and proof that i re-calibrated my speedometer will the judge mark me as not guilty for going over 100mph but still fine me as going 95mph? is this possible or will they judge just say that i should have had my speedometer calibrated after i got the new tires? Much help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
