YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FIGHT. For shits and giggles id like to sit in on your court just to laugh when the judge fines you more for the ticket.
Do you have some sort of motivation for spewing out a shitstorm of misleading and oftentimes wrong (I.E. your quote of Virginia's driving laws and then your weak rebuttel when you were called on it) information, or is it just your natural bahavior?
The cop has no way to prove your exact speed. There have been instances where the case is thrown out, and then there have been instances where the cop pipes up and says, "Well, it was more like 10 over what I said. I was just cutting him a break", and there have been instances where the judge decides that the ticket is fine as-is and charges you it + court fees. Its gonna depend on your prior driving record (big one), how you handled yourself with the cop, who the judge is and what kind of mood they're in, and how good your defense it. Its a gamble to say the least, but its FAR from impossible.
Oh, for the record, Cryptic, I'd like to see you in the court room laughing also, because then you coudl be held in contempt and taken away by the guards when you pissed the judge off and incarcirated. That would be hilarious!
