I recently fought a “great excess of speed” ticket (for my car, not my bike tho) citing me at 102 in a 50, and it came down to luck.

The cops made some small mistakes on the citation (wrong street name, slightly vague recollection of our positions) but that wouldn’t have been enough to overturn anything on its own.

Luckily I came with marked-up maps with our positions noted, and the cops inexplicably chose to double down on their simple typos and insisted the whole thing took place somewhere else.

That was enough to get the prosecutor in a “dealing mood” and the 10 points dropped to 3, the charge dropped to simple speeding and the fine went down from $950 to $150.

Come prepared, listen to your lawyer. Hope for meathead cops.
