You can get a lawyer, but I think it will probably not be necessary unless this is like your 3rd strike and you'll license type thing.

When I fought my red light ticket, I had to go to that crazy traffic court in Downtown Atlanta. Sat there for a little bit until my case got called. They had like this big mock intersection with little cars for you to use as a visual aid. Anyway, I plead my case and won. It lasted all of 5 mins. It wasn't that hard really. In my case, common sense prevailed. Officer that didn't even get out of his squad car to write the ticket, didn't.

Seriously, I'd fight it if I were you and felt this way. If it's BS, it's BS. Just prepare yourself and take pics (which I know you KNOW how to do ) and basically show that it was impossible for you to be traveling at that rate of speed at that time.

If you don't feel comfortable doing that, my next suggestion would be to speak to the solicitor and get it plead down to almost nothing. No points, no insurance issues, just pay the fine and move on. Afterall, how much money will it cost you to spend a whole day in court fighting this? Sometimes diminishing returns kicks in, you know?

I'll tell you what, for the right price......I'll represent ya ......I'd have them so baffled with bullshit they wouldn't know where the gavel was fast enough to shoo us off.....

Good luck.
