Yeah, that's what I am going to do (plead guilty). I was just exploring other and cheaper options. Maybe the officer doesn't show up. It wasn't a regular radar trap so maybe I get lucky.

They wont listen to you on a speeding ticket, they want the money. Best thing to do is point out you have very little disposable income and you need your car for work or whatever. Get that fine down as far as possible by pleading poverty if neccesary and if that is close to the truth. Perhaps the site administrators can clarify this, but I don't think the intent of this site is to openly encourage lying to the court (aka perjury). Geez, give Benjamin a break. He was trying to help. Negotiating with a prosecutor before the court is in session is not perjury which is when you have been sworn in...

So, what do I ? Should I just see what the prosecutor says before the court session starts and settle it then?

Sigh. What would you suggest then in terms of "beating" this ticket, short of pleading insanity?

Okay, so that's that.
I guess my only defense is that it would be impossible to get an accurate radar measurement if I entered the roadway, crossed three lanes in front of other vehicles (with cruiser way behind someplace) then came to full stop in the left turn lane, and all this in the space of 400m.

adding the notes here would clarify for others, plus could you advise at what the charge speed is so that one of us moderators can put the topic in the proper location, thank you - i dont follow about the 630am test time and 930am offence time thou. would have to see to know what you mean Here's all I got. It's for Speeding 70 in a 60. Re timings -- the first entry on the page is about the offence which occurred at 9:40am. Below it is the calibration notes for a calibration that was done at 6:30am. Why would you wait over three hours to make calibration notes? Only thing I can think of is tha...

I requested a disclosure for speeding and all I received was a copy of one page of a notebook. There was no date, my name or the offense number wasn't on it. The top half had details of the offence and the botton half of the page had some calibration details. The trouble is the offense was at 9:40am and the calibration was 'supposedly done' at 6:30am, but was written down more than three hours later.

Something doesn't add up. Why would you record the offense and then the calibration record 3 hours later?

Should I attach a copy of this for the readers to see?
