I was driving on Rt 80 E in NJ with the flow of traffic. State Trooper stopped me for 84 in a 65. The cop was pacing me and said that I was stopped you for driving 82-84 in a 65 mph zone.
I have no points on my license, but this is my second offence ever. My last ticket was in July 2003 for speeding 64 in a 50, but I went to court and had it reduced to "Driving in an unsafe manner (points only assessed for the third or subsequent violation(s) within a five-year period.)"
I know that I was speeding, but I don't think I was driving that fast. I'm definitely going to go to court, but my question is should I fight the ticket or should I try to plea bargain with the prosecutor. Has anybody been the situation whereby you stopped for speeding by being pace? What was the outcome?
