    You show the video to the judge. It clearly shows you did not slow down. You were keeping pace with the vehicles in lanes 2 and 3 that presumable were doing the speed limit or above and promptly increased speed after passing the officers. And if you watch the tree line leaving the frame on the right side of the video, you can see that you may have applied your break at 0:15 for a very brief moment. Hardly enough to reduce your speed.

    My take is that you weren't paying attention. Perhaps your mind on matters other than driving. You reacted too late to slow down and said f*** it.

    If you come to a forum to hear only what you want to hear, it's a waste of your time and ours.

    Actually it shows he did slow. I’m not going to calculate it to determine the actual speeds but the video does prove he did slow to some extent

    Obviously not enough and not in time.

    Maybe, it's just my depth perception, but I can't see where he slowed at all?

    Count the dashed lines that divide the lanes and say the numbers out loud (I had to restart every 10). Toward the end of the video it's obvious that he slowed down.

    I slowed the video to 1/4 speed, still can't determine if he slowed or not, but don't count on my perception, with my swiftness I need 20 seconds to count to 10!

    he slowed down noticeably twice that I can discern: once about 9 seconds into the video and the second time as he passes the first cop car.
