My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NC
I was driving in a 55 mph zone with cruise control set on 63 mph. I approached a marked patrol car driving in front of me in the same (left) lane, and switched to the right lane to pass him because he was driving fairly slow. I made sure I was not speeding because it was obvious he was a cop, but as soon as I passed him he pulled me over and said I was going 65 mph, and showed me his radar display to prove it.
How can I contest the ticket he gave me for 65 in a 55? I realize it was stupid to not slow down even more, but I know for a fact that my speed stayed at 63, as it was set on cruise control. I don't believe I deserve the ticket and I think his equipment was faulty, but I am not sure how to go about fighting it as it would be his word against mine.
What would be the best steps to take in order to get it dismissed/reduced? I am more concerned with not getting any points on my license/raise in insurance than paying a fine or going to traffic school or something.
Thanks
