Went to court today to fight my speeding ticket that I received on the first of the year. Took it to trial and the officer who wrote me the ticket was on the witness stand and said: "I heard him coming and noticed that he was approaching me at a high rate of speed so I picked up my radar gun."
That would be my Remus Exhaust. Just having the officer say that in court was worth the $140 fine. It was beautiful.
Here in Las Vegas, we have the option of getting our tickets fixed by a traffic attourney, and they reduce it to a parking ticket. It does not go on your record and no points. But I opted to take it to court because I had never been to court before.
Just for the record, I was creating a safety margin by creating time and space away from the vehicles that were behind me coming off a red light. It was during the evening of a national holiday, the vehicles behind me were probably driving impaired. Always assume the worst case scenario.
Unfortunately the Judge wasn't a rider, and couldn't relate. Although the cop was a motorcycle cop, we all know that everyone never crowds a cop when they see one. So he really couldn't relate as well.
