It’s a proven fact that the new gti speedo reads high,read any magazine. I’m not saying the speed ticket was wrong but the speed was. and if they were pulling over anyone who traveling at 65-70 they should pull over everyone… I asked how can i fight this…not argue agianst me. It’s wrong to speed but it’s more wrong to write a ticket for a false conviction. ---

[/quote] Yup that was it! I drove thru there when it was going on and I thought to myself, that truck looks like its parked in a really strang place up on that overpass. Its a little ways before where they pulled you over, they have a nice clear shop all the way down the 219 from that bridge. ---

Shitty to hear you got busted in rush hour traffic, that’s always lame because rush hour is usually 10mph over the limit. So in fact if you were doing 65 with the flow of traffic its still speeding. To answer your original question, I would request supporting deposition with proof of the radar reading, if he can’t provide that then have him elaborate why he came up with 78, because then if he says another cop got the reading, simply reply with maybe it was a different car? Hey, it’s worth a shot. I would avoid admitting guilt, and just try to get it reduced to a non moving violation, which chances are you could just get fines & school if your record is clean. Either way good luck, been to court numerous times for speeding and only my first one ever has stood. Usually being polite, proof of evidence, and whether or not the cop shows and argues against you (usually they don’t) will cause you to be convicted. Just dress nice, be polite, speak to the DA for a reduction and I think you will be fine. ---

15 over on the 219 in one of the 55 zones will get you pulled over every time. That highway is a major revenue source. That being said, just plead not guilty, go to court, it will get reduced. Everyone knows it’s just a tax system, and the local courts would rather see that tax money go to the town than the state. 100% of parking ticket money goes to the town, while only about 30% of a speeding ticket is kept. And yes, it’s a known fact GTI speedometers register high. Germany has VERY strict laws about speedometers and car manufactures can get huge fines if one of their cars is ever found to be registering low. So, to take into account for the fact that tires get smaller as they wear they have to make the speedometers read high, especially when a car is new and has full tread depth. ---

sedlmeier you’re a fucking idiot. you were speeding, significantly over the limit. who the hell cares if every other car was. you got caught. so stop the pussy crying bullshit, and go to court like a man. there’s no reasonable way to fight it. go in, get it reduced, and stop driving like a fuckhead before you get into an accident with that piece of shit and cause our insurance rates to go up. ---

if he stated to you that you were “clocked” by another officer, then that must be in his supporting deposition. write down everything that was said between you and the officer. if your ticket says radar, then he or you must have made up the clocked reference. since when do police need to show you anything. they are alledgedly able to calculate speed over distance in their heads, and it will still hold up in court. and put in for the supporting dep. asap. i think you are supposed to get one before your court date as long as you request it ina timely manner? ---
