Speeding Ticket #2, NEED HELP ON THIS ONE... Options

[JoKeRkId613]

Here's the situation: 67MPH on a 40MPH 2-lane one-way street. The cop was pointing a radar gun straight at me. He was real cool. He told me he'll give me a break. He didn't give me a ticket for wreckless driving, not having a seatbelt, illegal tints. Thank God. But I have an unlawful speed ticket to worry about. I just got a ticket about 2 months ago for the same thing. 60MPH on a 35MPH. Except this time, the cop WILL be in court and he said he has all his certs and everything for the radar gun. I told him I didn't realize how fast I was going because my cluster right now only reads in km/h since my original one was messed up and i'm fixing it. i don't know if that'll help me. He said he usually always wins the case and that he will again this time. So I'm saying I plead no contest and say I didn't know how fast I was going but it didn't feel like I was doing 67. My cluster only reads in km/h so I think that should help me out a bit. What do you guys think? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not everyone has the same opinion on the laws as you do Shid. Sure he should wear a seatbelt, but if the cop thought it was so dangerous in his situation why would'nt he give him a ticket for it?

Would'nt speeding on a highway be more dangerous because the speeds are'nt 30 they are like 65, so to be speeding and get pulled over for that much you got to be doing like 85. That seatbelt is'nt going to do much for you at that speed.

Besides he is asking legitimate questions and was just responding to all the negative comments to him when you failed to give him any real advice on what he was asking.

I told him to pay the tickets, thats advice. I told him he was unlikely to get out of either of them, thats advice. I told him he shouldn't go double the posted speed limit, because he'll get pulled over. That's advice.

When roads are 30 mph, there's usually a reason unless it's a speed trap by the freeway, etc. When you go 15 over on the freeway, you're in a less hazardess sitation than when you're going double the posted speed limit on a city street.
