I just got a speeding ticket a little while ago but the cop was just the biggest jerk ever. He pulled me over after I entered the highway, telling me that I was speeding on the ramp. Wtf is that? I was accelerating so I could catch up with the drivers on the highway, WHAT YOURE SUPPOSED TO DO!
The speed limit on the highway was 70mph but everyone was going like 85 (crazy Houston drivers)so going up the ramp I was going 77 (what he told me) and he pulled me over! I didn't argue with him too much because I didn't want to get in trouble but should I try to fight it? I mean, yeah I was over 70 but only to keep up with the traffic. So fight it or just pay up?

If you go to court they'll almost certainly decrease the fine and drop the points, but that is if you plead guilty. Fighting on the other hand, requires laywer like manuvers and arguing in a court setting (some people even hire a lawyer) about why you aren't guilty. This will likely backfire on you because you'll annoy the judge with how much time this takes, and they probably won't care about your excuse. then, you may get an ever larger fine. It really isn't worth the time and energy. Just plead guilty yet give your explanation and you'll be fine.
