My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Massachusetts
I was driving at 9:45a on a sunny MA “highway” with posted speeds of 55mph.
I was pulled over and the officer asked, “Do you know how fast you were going?”
I replied, “I really don’t.”
He said, “Do you know the speed limit?”
I replied “I think, typically 55”. He walked back to his vehicle.
My vehicle is a 2000 Honda Civic. It has over 200,000 miles. This was the second to last day driving the vehicle because the inspection sticker was due to expire, and I bought a new vehicle. The front bumper is off-center and kid of gold and doesn’t match the color of the rest of the car. The hood has big stains on it and is close to the same color of the bumper. The rest of the car is black. The exhaust also had fallen off, so the vehicle was very, very loud. The windshield was cracked and the car shook very often from a engine issue. All that, the car was still registered and had a valid sticker.
The officer came back only after I had been waiting just a few minutes. He said, “I had you at 79 in a 55. I only wrote you were going 65. You can appeal within 20 days or pay the fine. Here you go.”
He handed me my ticket and paperwork back and as he walked away, I asked, “When was I going that speed? Around the bend?”
He replied, “Yeah, on the bend.” And proceeded to his vehicle.
The officer pulled away and after I regrouped, a few minutes later I continued on my way.
The ticket says 65 in 55. Posted, Lidar and Estimated.
How do I win this appeal? I don’t believe I was going that fast. There was a lot of vehicles coming around that bend. There were 2 lanes. I was in the left lane. The officer was parked facing the direction of traffic at the bottom of the hill/bend in the right break down lane.
How do I win?
