I would bet the discrepancies are enough to get it tossed, or at least to question the officer's condition and attention to detail and thus their ability to estimate speed which is the precursor to the radar.

Read up on fighting tickets on that thar Interweb and go in prepared.

First hearing is not with officer and you may be able to get the DA to drop it based on the innacuracies.

As I understand it, most judges will be lenient to Class A drivers over little piddling stuff because the repercussions are much higher than for those with Class C. Don't specificalyl ask for it based on that, but with the discrepencies and your testimony that you were, in fact, only going 70 and that was in order to merge, you should be able to avoid an impact on your record. In a mildly fair and just world, anyway.

Don't count on it. When I got my one ticket ever, the officer wrote the speed & location inaccurately and I was able to mathematically prove out, in detail, how what he wrote me up for was physically impossible. I fought it with the mail-in process (in Cali) but it didn't matter, I still got the ticket. :lol:

I tried to fight a ticket via mail too. I think they always refuse your request via mail the first time so you have to keep writing letters until you give up.
