Default Speeding ticket...

I got a speeding ticket last week for $323.

I don't want to pay it, but I aint gonna bitch about it cause I WAS speeding. They did it en mass... 8 other cars pulled over same time as me. Any ideas how to argue it? I will take it to court and hopefull the cop wont even show up, hopefully. But if he does... what can I say?

plead guilty and take it up the ass like a man. If you're lucky, the judge will reduce it by half.

My business teacher told me this story about a blonde girl from the US. She was traveling through Canada at 100 mph. When the cop pulled her over and ask why she was speeding she said that she wasn't speeding. Even the sign post that speed limit is 100. The cop told her that it is 100 KMH not MPH. So he let her go.

Dude,

$323 Canadian is only like $5 in the US. That's cheap for a ticket.
