My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California
So my situation is the fact that I am a college student and have a really hard time paying these ridiculous tickets. Anyway So I received a ticket a couple months ago for my taillights being out and 82 in a 65. I basically realized that my fuse blew so my taillights weren't on at night. I am sure I was not speeding though. I was in the slow lane and there was no traffic. I remember going 68 on my speedometer then got caught behind a car going 50 which I stayed behind because I wasn't in a rush. Next thing I know I am getting lit up by a CHP officer. Now when he pulled me over he stated that I was going 82 which I really do not think I was. Anyway, I got two tickets which came in the mail as CVC22349(a) and CVC24252a.
When I looked at the citation part he put my truck as a 1994 Toyota when it is really a 1999 Toyota. My registration clearly states that it is a 1999.
I have no problem pleading guilty to my taillights being out cause they legitimately were but what about this speeding ticket? It is very important that I can fight out of this because I am also an ambulance driver. My record is checked all the time and having a clearer record just makes it easier for future jobs that I would like to apply for.
Is this worth fighting out? Or should I just suck it up and go to traffic school?
It would be a huge help for me to not get this ticket, I really don't agree about it. I have always paid off past tickets because I knew I was in the wrong, but in this situation, I don't feel like it was. The officer was rude and I felt like it was an overuse of power.
