My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: California
As the title says i was pulled over for doing 80 in a 65 zone, the rest of the traffic was moving about 70-75 i was trying to get home asap because my friend said he felt like throwing up and i did not want that in my car. so i went into the left lane and started to go faster and some guy in front was moving slower then traffic so(i learned to drive in Ukraine and this is a common practice) i blipped my hi-beams hoping he would move over to the empty lane to the right and let me pass, he didnt so i just passed him on the right, and went on my way and later slowed down to 65, and about 3 minutes later a cop pulles me over and starts explaining to me what i was doing wrong and that if my friend does not need an ambulance then it dosent excuse me, and then goes on explaining to me how another officer got shot while off duty for flashing his hi-beams the way i did.
Point being this is my first ticket and now i dont know what to do they have yet to send me a court date or anything all they sent me was a correction on the ticket saying that the PO wrote down my car color as gold not grey.
I was thinking of just paying the fine and taking the point but now that i read all these i think ill just tell my mom what happened and bring her to court with me.
Also if i wanted to just take the fall how much would the fine be aproxomitley?
