just so that you know, he doesnt have to pace you right on your ***. he could be a few lanes over, and 4 or 5 hundred metres behind you.
all he has to do is watch you pass a landmark, then count until he passes the same landmark.. then do that again and again to make sure he maintains roughly the same distance between you.
honestly, i guarantee you were doing roughly the speed that the officer says you were. do you honeslty think that he wasnts to possibly be reprimanded, even charged with an offence for lying on a speeding ticket? he really has nothing to gain by giving you a larger ticket than you deserve.
just remember, pacing can be done from quite a distance. he could have just been headlights way back and you wouldnt have noticed... then once he decided you hsould get a speeding ticket he sped up to nail you.

Just got back from the court.
The prosecutor offered to lower the charge to 145kmh (45 over) with 4 points and 275$ fine. I agreed... Then i told the judge how i was a poor student and he lowered the fine to 175$.
Some things surprised me:
Hearing was at 1:30... There were a bunch of people there waiting to go in.. Then at 1:10 the guard said that whoever wants to talk with the prosecution can go in and do so. Most people went in and lined up. Line was REALLY long.. maybe 30-35ppl, i was about 6th. When my turn came, it was about 1:25, then at 1:30 the judge came in and ordered everyone to sit down (the whole line) and the hearings began. 20+ppl from the line didnt even get a chance to talk with the prosecutor. Weird...
Another thing that susprised me was that all staff members in court were african-american. Not that i have something against that, but intresting nevertheless - the judge, the prosecutor, the clerk, even the guard was back. Is this a part of the affirmative action programm or just a coincedence?
One guy before me had a 168kmh in a 100kmh charge, and had a DIRTY record and got the same deal as me - 145kmh and 175$ fine.
Another guy was charged with 195 in a 100, no insurance, and driving with a suspended licence. He pleaded guilty to all charges and didnt even request a trial. 6000$ fine and 1 year licence suspension..... And i thought I was unlucky...
Anyway, thanks to all who've helped me in this thread!
