I see asking question about fighting a ticket is something like asking it on any other big message boards people start to tell you just pay it.

peter8d9: He got you for 2 offences so the chances are he will show up in court. Not knowing how many tickets you got before it’s hard to suggest if you should take your chances or just pay the ticket as general rule is judges will usually believe cops over the defender. Check to see if in your state you can do it thru mail as usually cops don't get paid for that like they do for going to court and it consider to be part of there regular work which means cops will not get paid for defending his action thru mail. If you lose you usually can appeal and then go to court and do it again in front of the judge so basically you got 2 chances of winning the ticket instead of one. Also if judge rules against you, request a driving school so that you can keep the points off your driving history. Good luck and as glc said talk to a lawyer they will know the facts of the law much better then anyone on this board will
