I have read all the strings on this subject but would like an opinion on this particular situation.
I was traveling south on 178 two lane black top (65mph) and came to a section, which was ground up for resurfacing. There were road signs for 35, which I thought at the time were advisory (like speeds for bends). The road was completely deserted (one car in 60 miles) and the night visibility was excellent. So I stayed at speed.
Half way through the section, there was a cop about thirty feet off the road without lights on. He pulled me over and wrote me up for 22350 vl Unsafe Speed.
He seemed angry “Said I blew his doors off.” I did dust his vehicle. He made a big point of saying he was doing an accident investigation (at 7.30 at night) and wasn’t waiting for speeders. He wrote me for 65 in a 35 but said I was going faster (I guess I was polite to him).
There may well be a “speed survey” because the road was chunked up, but who knows.
The outcome I want most is to do traffic school, which is not an option at 30mph over.
Am I better of fighting it. Or throwing myself on the mercy of the court and asking if they will let me do school? The outcome can't be worse than it is now, unless the judge gets mad that I'm fighting it and increases the fine.
