    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.

    A couple of things....you did slow down, but it appears that it was simply taking your foot off the gas. Not much of a speed drop. However, watching the body line on your hood in relation to alignment with to the solid white shoulder delineator (that's painted stripe chuckles) you fail to even make an attempt to ease left one iota. That's the part that got ya right there.

    I hafta agree with jk on this one.

    One thing a video shows, especially when moving at speed, is that the human eye sees a lot further and discerns more at distance. You had approx 400-500yds, it would appear, from the time the strobes came into view to the time you passed the scene.

    Again, watch the alignment of the body contour line on the right side of the hood. You did not move over, at all, even though if the truck in lane 2 was still next to you, you'd still given them a couple feet of so.
