the cop couldn't have arrested you for reckless driving
Anything over 20mph over the speedlimit is reckless driving. and they CAN arrest you for it.

I know he wasn't next to me for a 1/4 mile and thats good info to keep in mind. I talked to a girl who said she did the "ticket clinic" where you pay $90 and someone goes to court for you and hers got thrown out(she had a pace clock also). I'm going to keep researching and I have a little while to think about it so once again thanks for the input. Oh and the problem that I have with paying for it is that I wasn't going 90 mph. Maybe 80, but not 90 mph and there is no way that he caught up to me and we took up both the right and middle lanes(with traffic) doing a constant 90. I'm not looking to just pay for it for the people that gave me that advice....thats too easy and I think that it would be in my best interest to fight it.

Yeah because I wasn't doing 90 like the officer says and the way that he got my speed is wrong. If people like me fight for bullshit tickets like this then maybe things will change. I got a ticket a few months ago with a radar and I paid it because I was speeding and he gunned me. With this ticket there is no way he is sure of my speed and he tried to write me a ticket for faster than I was going.

So if the cop told you that you were doing 80 in a 55 or 65, would you fight it?
