St Patrick's evening me and my g/f were heading to a friends house. Not 1 mile from our apartment, our vehicle was 'clocked' going 37 in a 25. However, I was going 25 mph when entering the top of a hill going down at a 30* incline for 120yds to the bottom where the officer was seated. There was also another vehicle in front of me also going the same speed. Since receiving the ticket, i tested what happened if i was off the brakes and at the top of the hill at 25mph, by the time I reached the bottom of the hill, I was indeed going 35 mph. In all honesty, yes I was speeding, but I would hate to get points against my flawless background for a simple 10 over ticket.
What options do I have? Should I pay it and take the point, or plead not guilty and opt to argue inaccuracy of the radar and surrounding conditions causing an incorrect reading. My main goal is no points on my record. Could I plead to the court to pay the fine but wave the points?
Thanks.
