Where were you? Road, Nassau or Suffolk? My brother got a street racing ticket on Hempstead trnpk. in Farmingdale which was Nassau. He stood before the judge in Mineola. He also had a prior stop sign ticket from a few months earlier. With some tactful linguistics from our lawyer he walked with a busted tail light tick. $70 + a surcharge NO points. Theres justice for ya. Anyway, my advice is grab a lawyer for the court date. It may cost more now but the insurance hike will kill you in the long run. Good luck.

A couple of years ago I got a ticket for "excessive display of horsepower". ( 85$ ticket ) I squeaked the tires of my friends Camaro at a light. It was a complete accident ( he had almost bald tires ) but the cop was a hard ass.
I got out of the ticket by telling the judge I was just unfamiliar with the car.. since it wasn't mine.

I got pulled over last night for just the same thing. I was only going 10MPH or so above the limit, but I was supposedly pulling hard from the stoplights, according to the officer. While "pulling hard" is subjective, I never once VTEC'ed it. The cop, while a little peeved, was nice enough to let me off with a warning.

Stupid terminologies, at the end of the day ... It still points to the same shit, excessive speed or whatsoever. Go to court and fight it out, you should never give up ... Go on, waste their time in court rooms ... That's the way to get them back and drag the case for as long as you can.

i got pulled over for racing an s2000 (while not in my own).
cop asked, "why were you racing?"
me: "I wasn't"
cop: "then where's the fire, why such a hurry?"
me: "there's no hurry"
I didn't get a ticket because he didn't have the other guy to prove racing, and he didn't get my speed (but he saw I was going damn fast, and said he had to go 140 to catch up with me)
I didn't even get a ticket for being an ass!

You can get a t icket for unauthorized exhibition of speed for doing anything from revving your engine to chirping your tires. A friend of mine got a ticket for peeling out at a light once. If you were speeding, just be glad you didn;t get a ticket for that. I havea feeling that defending an unauthorized exhibition of speed ticket is a lot easier than a speeding ticket.
Good luck in court. Let us know how it turns out.
