Back in January I got nailed on the way home from the AnyWebCam party in Hollywood, doing 85. I had tried to get traffic school just to keep it off my record, but was told I was not eligible due to the speed. My only hope was to contest the ticket and hope the cop did not show up.

He showed up. Damn. Said I was doing 80 MPH, blasted to 90, then slowed to 85 during the 1/2 mile pace.

I concentrated my cross-examination of the cop to the accuracy of his speedometer and other cars that were around me. The cop did not have "records" but had notes. I stated I could not cross-examine notes.

I then asked him about other cars around me, but he did not remember them, so could not testify.

I told the judge the only reason I was fighting this was because they would not give me traffic school. He said at 85 I wasn't eligible.

My defense was that I was being blocked in by a car to the right of me that wasn't letting me change lanes so I had to slow down, knowing he would slow down, then speed up fast enough to be able to get in front of him and therefore able to get off the freeway.

The judge found me guilty. I then requested traffic school, and he granted it! Right on!

Moral of the story: it never hurts to ask.
