    if your 21, pay the fine and don't speed, you'll keep your license with the 4pt hit - did you mention that you did speed up faster to pass a car when going around them when explaining your situation to the cop?

    If it were me, I'd pay it, maybe take defensive driving to lower points insurance wise

    now onto what happened....
    i was comming back from athens (i went to visit some friends and family) and had a class at 11 so i was speeding just alil bit ...anywho i got into barrow county and was goin...i was cruising at around 75-80 but then this car was swerving all over the place so i sped up to pass him...he was making me nervous...it was around 1030ish.... not many ppl on the road in general...well after i sped up to pass the guy...got up to about 90 to pass him. as i was decelerating...i saw a cop driving opposite direction on 316...he then slammed his breaks and turned around....i slowed down..but he didnt flash his lights....i drove down about 4 miles and i didnt even see him behind me...i was going 60 the whole 4 miles after i saw him...then he popped up and flashed his lights....pulled me over and said he clocked me at 89 in a 65..... he asked why i was speeding and i was honest..i told him i had class in atl and was just trying to get home. he goes back and writes me a ticket then comes back to my car....when he comes back to my car...i ask to see his radar cuz i dont think i was goin that fast (when he clocked me) he got attitude but allowed me to see it... and the radar said 88 but he gave me a ticket for 89...i kno its petty but it bugs me.....

    heres my thing...ive never got a speeding ticket...cuz i try to be pretty smart about it....obviously speedin on 316 not that smart but yea...


    how do i approach this? i plan on going to court....what are the odds they will lower the charge/speed of my ticket, or even drop it? like i dont know how he knows it was me...because there was ANOTHER rsx-s right behind me OF THE SAME COLOR when he pulled me over... and we were goin the relatively same speed....if i plead no-lo will i still get points on liscence will my insurance go up? idk wat to do >_> how much do you think they ticket will be around? the ticket is in barrow and it was from GSP....

    me-> :idb: <-my stupidity


    thanks so much guys!
    fixed
