I've taken the day off from work twice and beaten 2 tickets ,, I told them my record is good (never a speeding ticket) and the amount of miles I drive commuting .. Just said I was going with the flow of traffic and didn't realize how fast I was going .. I didn't lie and deny I was speeding,, trying to make an arse out of the officer ... That being said 84 mph ?? I think 80 is considered reckless driving .. My experience you can speed ,,, 75mph is the magic number most will just let you go by .. Over that your asking for it .. I tell my kjids that .. Over 75 they are going to make you pay . So I drive 75 (in a 65)with cars blowing by me . I'd fight it ... Not because your kid is right . I'd fight it because the insurance company's are such thieving basteges.. They get you both ways ..I'd dope slap my kid for 84.. Most definately wouldn't survive a crash at that or come out looking pretty . also ... The officer does not have to be present anymore .. One cop will be present for the State .

Car v.s. pole/other solid object @ 84 m.p.h.=something you don't want to consider. There is no second chance at that speed.

He could have cited you for the inspection sticker if it was in your name and her for the speeding.

She will probably get a break on the inspection sticker.

Being polite and showing some humilty, without the whining, in the hearing room goes a long way (the specialist said this). Good luck.

Besides it is two surcharges, not one.

And by the way when the inspection sticker is expired the car can be towed, because the inspection sticker is an integral part of the registration law. In other words the car can be considered unregistered without a current inspection sticker. No one is doing that yet though.

Jesus I am a cop and if stopped could probably talk my way out of a ticket, but I'd never get stopped because I only drive 68 to 70 m.p.h. on the pike going back and forth to New Braintree. This is why there are never any minor crashes anymore. Rollovers and other types serious crashes are occurring at an alarming rate.

At any rate, good luck.
