I was coming back from school today, and pulled up next to a corvette at the
lights .Once the light turned green, the corvette began to take off before me, and the momentary lapse of common sense made my gun the throttle. So im still behind the corvette, when he slows down, and so do I.
What speed are we at ? 45-50 mph in a 45 mph zone. We go a bit further just to
have a cop pull both of us over and issued us a citation for "racing on a
highway". The cop acknowledged that we dint break any speed limits, but he said
"accelerations with 2 people beside each other is called racing". He said, if
either of you were alone and took off, it wouldnt be a problem, but since both
of you did it together, its called racing. Then I told him that even before
taking off we made no signs calling for a race, and the cop agreed to that too.
So Ive got to appear before a judge in 3 weeks. Has anyone gone through this
before ? Is there any chance this can be thrown out ? I have a clean driving
record, and this would be my first ticket. Is it good to go with a lawyer ?
Please help me.
