That sucks.

The "drag racing" violation is such a sticky situation. It's really up to interpretation, so I imagine it's hard to defend. When it comes to court systems, they're basically going to take the cop's word. It's pretty much impossible to prove someone was racing.......which means it's just as difficult to prove you weren't.

Cops can "guess" your speed without using a radar, and you can still be fined for it. I didn't think that was the case, but was talking with an officer who said they are "trained" to judge speeds and that will hold up in court (I also know people who have gotten tickets from this sorta thing).

Everyone knows the risks of doing this sort of thing. Sucks you got busted, but it also comes with the territory. I hope this doesn't affect your family too badly.
