cops can pace you, clock you while driving, even the other way, they always show up to court, the judges trust anything they say. your screwed.
I've had over 20 tickets for all kinds of things and only ever beaten 4 of them or so. I've also had about 20 points or so, and now i only have 5. I have taken the safety driving course on my own 4 times. Once every 2 years, and it takes off 5 points. I say take that before court and plead no contest which means guilty with an explanation.
If the court makes you take the course, you dont lose any points. the wreakless is 6 points alone. if you take the course at the end of it all you only gain 1 point.
