sooooo, i got three tickets yesterday; reckless driving(40-6-390) , speeding(40-6-181), and failure to signal(40-6-123). I have to go to court since I was "doing" 30+ over the speed limit, and the reckless driving I "committed"

Basically, I came off of Old Dixie Hwy/Tara Blvd road, and merged on to i-75.

Apparently, the cops 'said' that I merged on to i-75 at 90mph (in a 55mph zone), and merged over from the first to third lane(over two lanes) without signaling, and without maintaining my lane for the specified amount of time. He said he clocked me four times---at 79, 89, 90, 90 from 959.8 feet away.

Personally, I don't know how I jumped from 79 to 89/90 miles between two "clocks" but whatever. I don't think I was going that fast(90), but I guess I can't really dispute that.

He said I didn't signal, but I did. The side marker light, blinked but the headlight didn't. Why? Because I just got the car a couple weeks ago, and didn't realize the headlight indicator was out til about last week. I've been super busy and haven't had time to change it out, was going to try and get to it by the end of the week but...yea, I know no excuse. I didn't tell him this at the time, because A. I didn't think about it, and B. in retrospect he might have given me another ticket (maybe I'm wrong)

He said I merged over two lanes, and gave me a reckless driving ticket because of that. I thought that was an improper lane change though, am I wrong? Honestly, it's not like I swerved over from the on-ramp, I KNOW I looked before going into each lane.

Before he pulled me over in the middle of the road(There was roadwork, so I couldnt pull over---was going to pull into a gas station until he gets on the loudspeaker and asks "Buddy, are you going to pull over?") and when he came to the window said I was doing 90 in a 55 merging on to the interstate, I asked if I could see he laser gun, he said he couldnt show it to me. I asked him two or three times, during the conversation, and he also said he couldn't show it to me because it only shows distance. huh?


advise please?

merged on the ramp to i-75 from here..he was sitting close to where the arrow points:
